The Praia Ilha do Farol Beach is a natural beach warmed by the hot winds and warm currents from the Ria Formosa Natural Park.

The beach, even though it’s located on an island with intensive touristic activity has a nearly desert area where you might practice nudism.

At this beach there are some diving schools which use the resources from the western jetty, as well as sport fishing and underwater hunters. When the conditions are favorable some surfers look for this beach.

To get to this beach you might catch the boat from Faro (during summer months), or from Olhão (throughout the year)
