    Farol Island lies within the Ria Formosa Natural Park in the Gulf of Cádiz. Together with its neighboring islands, it forms a chain of islands, interrupted only by a few channels and tidal creeks, creating a natural barrier for the lagoon between the islands and the mainland.

    The island boasts a beautiful sandy beach 🏖️ and offers several places to eat and drink! 🍺😋

    Its most striking landmark is the lighthouse!

      A beautiful beach walk from the Cais da Ilha da Culatra towards the Ilha do Farol lighthouse along the Atlantic is a wonderful experience. At low tide, the walk through the firm sand is less strenuous. First, you walk from the jetty across a wooden walkway to the Atlantic and then, in the off-season, along the deserted beach towards the lighthouse.
