Introduction

Praia Dona Ana lies just outside Lagos in Portugal's Algarve, a jewel-like cove embraced by golden limestone cliffs. The water is crystal clear, and sea stacks, arches and carved caves take on a dreamlike silhouette in the evening light, making it one of the most photographed beaches of the Algarve. A clifftop wooden walkway links a string of hidden coves, and in the warm season the beach is perfect for swimming, snorkelling and lazy afternoons in the sun.
