This beach is ranked among the most beautiful in the world, so it's a real must-see for any visitor to the Algarve! Its beautiful landscape characterised by large rock formations is reminiscent of Thailand - think something between Phuket and Koh Samui. The spot is ideal for snorkelling due to the clarity of its waters and the variety of its underwater flora and fauna.
This beach is considered to be one of the most tourist-friendly in the area, and has all the facilities you might need during the day (showers, toilets, restaurants on the beach...). It is also close to bars and discos if you fancy a drink or a night out after a day of relaxation.
This charming beach is made up of several coves, which can be reached through tunnels under the rock. Conveniently located close to the city centre, this beach offers you a quick trip home after a day of sunbathing and swimming. It should be noted, however, that, due to its beauty, the area is frequented by many boats.
Similar to the Praia de los Estudantes, this beach is made up of a succession of coves, where you can relax in complete privacy. Swim in the pristine waters and observe the corals and schools of fish that inhabit its depths.
This beach is known as the celebrity beach of the Algarve: it is not uncommon to see stars sunbathing or swimming here. It's not only a popular beach, but a truly enchanting one. It is advisable to arrive early to find a spot. There are a number of well-known restaurants on the waterfront and close by.
This beach is actually an island, located about 100 metres in front of Faro. It is only accessible by boat, but once you arrive you will have the impression of being the only human being in the world (almost). You can enjoy a meal in the ecological restaurant, which is built on stilts and powered by solar energy.
This cove, with its crystal clear waters, offers some of the most beautiful scenery in the Algarve. Enjoy a swim in one of the natural pools or don a mask and snorkel and visit the cave.
