Lagos Marina
Lagos Marina is a bright, modern and relaxing area of this historical city and a great place to enjoy a drink or some food while admiring the boats or to browse the shops along the waterfront.
While Lagos is known for being filled with historical buildings and landmarks, the marina area offers another side to the city thanks to its modern design and contemporary look.
Lagos Marina was first opened in 1994 and since then crews from all over the world have visited the marina by boat, while visitors to the Algarve have taken the time to walk across the bridge and discover the marina on foot.
The Lagos Marina is actually one of the most easily accessible marinas in the entire Algarve. Boat access is needless to say, pretty simple, while if you are walking it is easy to find by following the waterfront in an easterly direction until you reach the footbridge. The Lagos train station is just behind the marina and from this line you can link to destinations across the country, while those coming by car can take advantage of the 500 car parking spaces right behind the railway station.
For sailors, Lagos Marina provides everything you need for a comfortable arrival and stay and the Marina is proud to boast a blue flag status and also holds the 5 Gold Anchor standard from the Yacht Harbour Association.
If you do not have your own boat then Lagos marina still offers plenty to do for all ages, thanks to it being home to a selection of various restaurants, bars and shops.
Many people head straight into Lagos and miss the marina but it really is a very beautiful, clean and relaxing place to sit out and watch the boats while enjoying a cool drink in the sunshine.
There is plenty of space at the marina, so even during the peak of summer it doesn’t feel overly crowded and while it is far smaller than marinas such as Vilamoura, it has a certain charm about it that makes it a popular spot with residents and visitors alike.
Lagos Marina boasts a varied events programme throughout the year which draw a good crowd and an even better atmosphere, especially for the water events.
Arts feature strongly at the marina with events dedicated to exhibitions of works and even drawing lessons, while there are also events focusing on tasting local wines or sampling Portuguese cuisine.
By far the most popular events are those on the water and it is from Lagos Marina that you can watch the beautiful Portuguese caravel boat during special occasions or watch the fun dinghy races.
