    beautiful beach It is best to take the ferry to Farol and walk along the beach. Then in Culatra take the ferry back to Olhão.

      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!
