Praia da Boneca

Nestled along the stunning coastline near Ponta da Piedade lies Praia da Boneca, or 'Doll Beach'—one of the smallest and most hidden beaches near Lagos. The name originates from a nearby rock formation that resembles a woman's figure, adding a touch of whimsy to this enchanting destination. This remote and unsupervised beach is located in the area of the larger Camilo beach, accessible only by sea or by following a challenging cliffside path during low tide. The intense ochre colors of the surrounding cliffs have earned this coastline the name Costa d'Ouro (Golden Coast), and countless marine fossils can be found embedded in the cliffs above the beaches. Praia da Boneca is surrounded by towering cliffs and fascinating rock formations that provide protection from the wind while creating a breathtaking backdrop. The beach is known for its nudist culture, offering a secluded spot for those seeking a natural experience. Due to its tiny size, the narrow strip of sand nearly disappears at high tide—timing your visit is essential.
