Lagos, Portugal
There is rich and beautiful history within Lagos’ 14th century walls, from its fortress to picturesque churches like mediaeval São João Hermitage and the 17th-century São Sebastião. But that’s all appetiser. People come here for a main-course coastal buffet featuring more than a half-dozen beautiful beaches. Quiet sandy coves are sandwiched between dramatic cliffs. The sandy 2.5-mile stretch of Meia Praia caters to every water sport imaginable. And when you’ve had your fill, you can digest your day with some of the best nightlife in the Algarve region.

There are many beaches in the world that are great to watch the sunrise. On a trip to the Algarve, we visited Praia Dona Ana to capture the sunrise as it bathed the beach and unique rock formations along the coast in soft, golden light. The Algarve is popular with tourists seeking sun, sea and sand. This means the beaches can be very busy during peak periods. That's why sunrise is one of the best times to enjoy this beautiful stretch of coastline.
