High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Praia da Luz is a village and resort located about 6 km from Lagos in the Algarve, Portugal. The resort developed around the old fishing village. Praia da Luz (also known as "Luz de Lagos", "Villa da Luz" or "Luz") is the name of both the village and the beach. Residual activities from its origins as a fishing village are now only found in isolated pockets to the west, and the area is now dominated by several holiday-villa complexes. The origins of Praia da Luz date back to Roman times. Roman bath complexes and fish salting tanks have been found near the shore. Fishing, including octopus potting, was the predominant occupation in Praia da Luz until it was surpassed by tourism in the 1980s. Praia da Luz beach is an intermediate size Blue Flag beach with two distinct zones: the white sand characteristic of Algarve beaches and the 'rock zone'. The water is clean and transparent but the temperature is somewhat variable.
