Meia Praia, Lagos, Beach with sand dunes in Lagos, Portugal
Meia Praia extends over 4 kilometers of white sand, stretching from Lagos Marina to the Odiáxere River mouth along the Algarve coast.
A protective fort was constructed on the beach during the 17th and 18th centuries to safeguard Lagos port from maritime threats.
The western section near Lagos attracts families and tourists, while the eastern area maintains local traditions with fishermen and oyster farming.
The beach offers complete facilities including lifeguard services from June to September, wheelchair access, parking areas, and equipment rentals.
The eastern portion of Meia Praia contains an active oyster farm in the Ria de Alvor waters, contributing to local seafood production.
