Ponta da Piedade trail is one of the most beautiful trails that brings you around the Lagos coast to some of the best beaches in the area.

On my second day in Lagos, my friend Christie and I hiked along the coast from Lagos towards the Ponta da Piedade lighthouse. It was a beautiful day and gorgeous views.
The whole hike goes along the coast and you’ll end up passing some of the famous beaches like Praia de Dona Ana and Praia dos Pinheiros.
Check out my slideshow of our hike below.

As we mentioned, the trail actually starts right in Lagos. So if you forgot any food or want a snack for the trail you can grab one right before you start the walk to Ponta da Piedade.
We brought a picnic lunch of ham, cheese and avocado roll-ups, chips, clementine and water. Be sure to bring lots of water, especially if it is a hot day.

The trail itself is in good condition and you really don’t need hiking shoes for this trail but some good walking/running shoes are definitely a bonus. You’ll be walking on a combination of sidewalk, road, and then natural earth. There are areas where you do see a bit of erosion, especially really close to the coast but again regular walking/running shoes should be fine.
