About the Beach
What is Praia da Ilha do Farol (Mar) Beach?
Lifeguarded Beach from to
days for the start of bathing season
It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Faro.
Praia da Ilha do Farol (Sea) Beach is in a sandy island called Ilha da Culatra1, at the heart of Ria Formosa2 (a valley eroded by rivers and with sandy islands which is flooded by the sea, turning the water into brackish).
The sand is very long of about 1,7 Km and the dune system is wide.
At west, beside the fishermen village holding the famous Farol do Cabo de Santa Maria3, the beach is bounded by a 900 meter long pier, guiding the boats entry in the Canal de Faro4.
Access is via sea.
