The Praia dos Estudantes beach offers a small sandy area nestled among rocky formations that extend into the sea and allow for a quiet water perfect for swimming!

This beach in Lagos, Algarve, is surrounded by cliffs, in which two tunnels have been excavated: one to the west, giving access to a tiny beach. There you can see a beautiful manmade arch to link one of the rocks with the mainland. The other tunnel links Praia dos Estudiantes with Praia da Batata beach.

The western tunnel is slightly worn down by the erosion of the sea and its possible to see organisms from the intertidal space, such as mussels, limpets, balanus, shrimp, and algae.
