Praia da Luz is a beach destination in the Algarve.

The main sight in town is the 17th Century coastal forts, now a restaurant. 

The beach is okay but it tends to be really crowded in summer.

To the east of town you find some spectacular cliffs and among them the prominent black rock Rocha Negra. This is an intrusion of lava produced from the volcanoes of Monchique some 190 million to 135 million years ago.

There are many bars and restaurants, quite a few of them catering for the English visitor. There is also a cinema, showing nearly the latest films with their original soundtracks, and Portuguese sub-titles. There are a few disco's on the sea-front.
