Praia de Faro
📍 Praia de Faro, Faro, Portugal
4.3/ 5.0
★★★★☆
Introduction
Praia de Faro sits on a long, narrow sandspit just beyond the Algarve's capital, Faro — open Atlantic on one side, calm lagoon on the other, joined to the city by a long bridge. The sand is soft and the sea breeze generous, drawing surfers, windsurfers and birdwatchers; along the lagoon edge of the spit you may meet migratory birds and fiddler crabs. At sunset the flamingos across the water glow against an orange sky, making this one of the most relaxed coastal scenes in the Algarve.
