During the summertime, "beach buses" leave Lagos every hour and head a few miles south to Praia Dona Ana. The beach is 200 m long and accessible via a stairway. It is situated in a slightly curved half-circle formed by the surrounding cliffs. The water there is cristal clear. However, outside the tourist season, Praia Dona Ana is a real gem among the beaches of Algarve. The restaurants at Praia Dona Ana provide visitors with drinks, grilled sardines, and other snacks.
