Small but beautiful beach on the shores of the natural Parc of Ria Formosa. Armona Island lays within eyesight and the crystal clear water is calm and warmer compared with the ocean. There are salt mines next to the beach and with low tide a lot of seafruits are collected around the beach. There is a kayak company (Roots kayak Rental) available on the parking next to the beach. They also have excellent birdwatching and island tours. Excellent choise for a day relaxing or some warerfun combined with the beautiful islands.

Nice small place. It's good for those, who does not want spent many hours on the beach. Water is more warm than on Armona's beach. No services or restaurants.
