Always a favourite beach to visit. Absolutely perfectly safe for swimming. Excellent for families with young children too. Plenty of restaurants serving great lunches, all more or less priced the sam…Full review by Norbank123

A pretty little village by Algarve's turquoise waters. It has a beautiful, perfectly sized beach with plenty of nice cafes and restaurants around. There's quite a few hiking trails and limitless spor…Full review by 559joaof

Just love this beach. Beautiful, clean white sandy beach with lovely bars and eateries on the promenade above it and the Black Rock to walk to and build pebble stacks under. Great waves too. Water …Full review by GandC0905
Hi, we're looking at a holiday in Portugal this July. Would Pria da Luz be suitable for young family, kids are 4 and 1. We're travelling from New Zealand so don't wanna travel all that way to be unsuitable. Thanks, Joe

I’m staying in Burgau this July but want to visit Praia da luz, I have seen the public car park on google maps but do you have to pay there and if so how much per day and what time is best to get there in the morning to get a space?

Hi there are plenty of places to park your car for free there is an area opposite the Spar where you can stay all day for free also a lot of roads around the same area where you can park quite happily all day. Hope this helps Chris. Bugau is lovely, but steep. I love the fish restaurant in the square down by the front...fish to die for, so fresh.
Is this resort flat, would it be suitable for people with walking difficulties? Thanks

Very hard to find a place without hills around there, the village itself has a few small but steep hills, the one likely to cause the most hassle is going down to the beach. It is possible to drive most places but it is probably going to be a challenge for someone with walking difficulties. That said, it’s not extreme and very worth it.
Hi, I'm renting a house in Praia da Luz in October with a group of friends for my 40th birthday. Does anyone know of any house keepers we could use? I'd rather employ privately than through an agency. Thanks so much :)

Check out Praia de luz Facebook page they might be able to help
What are some better beaches in that area. I am going to Luz in mid October. I am sure it will be somewhat cool, but I would like to sit on the beach and relax some. Anything you can suggest as for pretty beaches, nice restaurants, attractions anything would be greatly appreciated. I am traveling with my 70 year old mother, who has dreamed of going to Portugal so this is something I want to do for her but would like to make great memory for her to enjoy and cherish

There is a lovely beach a meir Praia with some really good restaurants all along it with walk ways for easy access, the weather should still be ok, forecast is 22-28 deg, I shall be out to my house on the 24th. Aljezer, carapatera, feragardo are all lovely beaches but access can be a problem for your mother. Take her up into the mountains of monquique, lovely views of Portugal. Alvor is also a good place to just sit and watch the world go by, very flat with walkways around the sand flats and lovely restaurants so this might be a better place fir your mother
