The extensive Praia do Canavial is one of the most secluded beaches around Lagos and picnickers love the place for its calm and quaint ambience. The beautiful cliffs spill a array of shades of ochre, red and yellow and with the white beach and blue water, the place promises a relaxing time for visitors. During rainy season, the cliffs make way for beautiful waterfalls.

Carry a picnic basket with yourself and come here to get a sun-kissed tan to later go swimming in the open Atlantic ocean. End the day with a walk around the beach and see the captivating sunset. If you love uncrowded places with little or no chaos, this place is perfect for a little digital detox as you take in the fabulous view and nap while listening to the sound of the waves!
