Another Algarve beach, often ranking high in the European Travelers’ Choice Beaches Awards’, is Ponta da Piedade in Lagos.  In the Top 10 Portugal Beaches ranking, Algarve beaches occupy most of the positions.  These include Falésia, Olhos d’Água, Ponta da Piedade (Lagos), Praia da Rocha (Portimão), Praia Dona Ana (Lagos), Praia da Luz (Burgau) and Praia de Odeceixe (Aljezur).
