Ilha do Farol - all beaches

Just amazing

This beach is a hidden gem that is definitely worth the 20-minute stroll on the boardwalk to get there. While the food and drink options are limited, there are water sports and equipment rental booths available. However, the real attraction is the pristine yellow sand and the soothing sound of the cold blue water gently washing up on the shore. It's a perfect destination for those who love to bask in the sun.

This stunning beach boasts ample space and is the perfect place to unwind and soak up the sun. During the month of May, the crowds are scarce, allowing for a peaceful and relaxing experience. For those seeking a bit of shade, there is a designated area with umbrellas available for a nominal fee of 10 euros per person. The sand is luxuriously soft, making it the ideal spot to lay out a towel and bask in the beauty of the surroundings.

This is a lovely and serene beach that requires a two-hour visit.

Stunning location! If you walk to the very end, you'll find it wonderfully secluded. However, there's a bit of a challenge - parking is available only about 3 km away unless you arrive very early in the day (even then, you'll still need to walk at least 1.5 km). The scenery is most breathtaking during low tide. We arrived at 6 PM when the tide was rising, so we missed the spectacular lagoon waters. In total, we walked at least 7 km today from the parking area and back through the sand, making it quite a strenuous journey.
