Eastern Algarve Beaches

a heavenly seaside experience

Whether a day at the beach falls under the category of “excursions” is open to debate. In any case, in the Eastern Algarve, there is hardly anywhere where you just throw your towel from the back seat of the car onto your lounger. Between the car and the beach, there is usually a walk and a ferry. But when you do arrive…it’s worth it!

From Olhão, boats go to the beaches of Culatra, Farol, and Armona. All three are well worth a visit. To delve deeper into the old fishing culture, consider signing up for half-day or one-day excursions to explore the entire area.
