Praia da Luz has evidence of Roman occupation and was probably settled long before the Romans by those seeking a living from the sea and the fertile river valleys of the Western Algarve. Situated only 6 km from the historic town, and one time capital of the Algarve, Lagos, the village today still boasts a cobbled main street and a local population following traditional occupations. Although tourism plays a large part in the local economy, the village is largely unspoilt with few high rise apartments and just two hotels on the outskirts. The village is well kept with small houses painted in white whose gardens overflow with oleander, hibiscus, geraniums, bougainvillea and fragrant jasmine and gardenias. Palms, almonds, orange and lemons trees grow in abundance and support a wild bird population of great variety. Luz's south facing golden sand beach with its famous "black rock" (basalt - ancient volcanic origin), fossil bearing cliffs, flat rocks and rock pools offers something for everyone. The beach is accessible to wheelchairs and pushchairs alike and beach bars can be approached from the traffic free promenade and the sand. In summer the beach offers sun umbrellas, chairs, water skiing, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, and "banana rides". In winter the beach is truly magnificent in its natural state. The village has a pharmacy, doctor, dentist, optician, bank, post office, hairdresser, laundry/dry cleaning service and a church offering Catholic and Anglican service
