Luz
Luz is one of the most popular beaches in the Algarve for a number of reasons; Firstly, it has location on its side as it is closely situated to many of the region`s major towns such as Lagos and Portimao. Above all, this is a beautiful beach with fine white sand that makes it visually stunning and as a result, it is popular with all types of holiday makers. The sea here is particularly calm and therefore, families with small children will enjoy Luz. Although it is extremely busy, the beach is comfortable and relaxed and there is a good atmosphere here with friendly locals mixing with holidaymakers from countries right across the world. There is easy, direct access to this beach but on one side there is a large black rock cliff. Many intrepid travellers like to take some of the more testing pathways along and around the cliff to gain access to the beach and it provides a perfect relaxing destination if you`ve enjoyed a strenuous walk or climb of this kind. As with many beaches, you can enjoy windsurfing, fishing and a range of other sea based activities at Luz. (courtesy ilovealgarve.net)
