History
The Lagos coastline was shaped by marine erosion of limestone and sandstone and sits near a port that played a role in Portugal’s 15th–16th century maritime explorations.
Conservation
The area’s limestone cliffs and marine habitats are sensitive; choose low-impact operators (like electric boats), avoid anchoring on seagrass, and use reef-safe sunscreens.
