Beach facilities are limited, with only one restaurant, O Camilo, located on the cliff, serving fresh seafood cuisine and spectacular sea views. In addition, there is a wooden boardwalk near the beach that leads to Ponta da Piedade, along the way, you can see the spectacular rock arches and sea caves, which is a paradise for photography enthusiasts.

This is a famous beach in Largs, known as Anna Beach. There are many reefs protruding from the sea on the beach, like stone pillars inserted above the sea, which feels a bit like the Twelve Apostles in Melbourne. The scenery is really beautiful and worth visiting and taking pictures.

Praia do Camilo is a place with many tourists among the sea caves in Lagos Beach. It is particularly beautiful, with clear water and green in the blue. The rocks on the beach are washed into various shapes by the sea water. It’s a pity that there is no boat to go on the sea for fun.
