Meia Praia
This second point Meia Praia corresponds to another position of the beach in Lagos, at approximately 37.10961, -8.65537. The surface is indicated as sandy and access is marked as permitted. Like the entire Meia Praia, the location is also known as Praia de São Roque and is described as a large beach in the Algarve, with Bandeira Azul and beach services. The practical difference mainly comes from the location: here, the neighboring beaches mentioned are not the same. Meia Praia is 2.8 km away, Praia dos Pinheiros is 3 km, Praia do Porto de Mós is 4.1 km, then Praia dos Três Irmãos and Praia do Submarino further away. This point allows for targeting Lagos while keeping alternatives to the west.
About this spot
This entry for Meia Praia serves to choose a different section of the long coastline of Lagos. It retains the advantages of sand and permitted access but compares more with Porto de Mós or Pinheiros than with the central points of Meia Praia.
