Latest reviews on Faial island's beaches

Piscinas naturais de Castelo Branco
8 Rui Silva

This coastal destination is a delightful spot to take a refreshing dip in the ocean. However, I would suggest removing the term naturais as there are other, more organic swimming areas to be found in the Azores.

Praia de Almoxarife
10 Rui Silva

This beach in Faial is definitely one of the best. The water is incredibly clear, there are long stretches of sandy beach, and there are even natural rock pools to explore. It's also very easy to get to and there are public showers available.

Varadouro Beach
10 Evelina

This beach is an incredible spot to fully experience the beauty of the ocean.

Praia do Porto Pim
10 Max Rivera

Without a doubt, this beach is my top pick among all the beaches I've ever visited. The waters are tranquil and crystal clear, while the sand is warm and immaculate. At either end of the beach, there are two bars where you can indulge in refreshing drinks and ice cream. The changing rooms are conveniently located and easily accessible. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, making it an ideal spot for taking pictures. This beach is perfect for families, as well as those who enjoy playing games and water activities. Spending a day at this beach while in Faial is an absolute must.

All good
