Die Strände des Kreises Olhao


Praia da Armona
(Ilha da Armona)

The beach is situated in the West, on the Ilha da Armona. You can reach it from Faro, Olhão or Fuseta by boat. There are diverse restaurants, cafés, snackbars as well as sanitary facilities. In the season are lifeguards on site. 

Be careful: By the mouth, between the islands, exists a very strong current!


Praia dos Cavacos

The beach lies in the heart of the salt marsh and has a particular charm.

In Olhão, coming from the N125, you drive toward east. Roughly 1,5 km behind the last roundabout in town you turn right (direction Ald. a Marim) and remain on this road for approx. 1 km. There is an unorganised parking area and no infrastructure. 

The here prevailing tranquility is only disturbed by the railway line passing by in the vicinity. 


Praia da Fuseta Mar
(Ilha da Armona)

The beach is located at the eastern end of the Ilha da Armona and can be reached by boat from Fuseta (well signposted from the N125 on), where you find good parking facilities.

Restaurants and sanitary facilities are available.

People swimming and bathing are supervised by lifeguards.

Be careful: At the mouth, between the islands, exists a very strong current!


Praia da Fuseta Ria (Tesos)

Fuseta is signposted already on the N125 and parking places are available at the harbour (partly for a fee). The beach lies between the Ilha da Armona and the mainland, and it can be reached from the town within walking distance (200 m). 

There are diverse restaurants, cafés, snackbars and sanitary facilities. People swimming and bathing are supervised by lifeguards.

The beach has an access for people with disabilities.
