This is a wonderful day out. Park along the front by the market that is also worth visiting. Buy a return ticket to Farol on the island for just over 4 Euros. Get off at Culatra stop after a 30 minute attractive trip across the lagoon then walk through the village across the boardwalk to the beach. You can then walk through the surf for an hour on the beautiful beach towards the lighthouse where there is a chilled out beach bar called Maramais with great views over the beach. Here there are great drinks and snacks - the sandwiches are huge. You can hire sun beds if you wish. Then a ten minute walk down to the jetty and a lovely boat trip back. The 11am out to Culatra and the 4pm back from Farol runs all year. See timetable in photos.…

Once arriving on the beach it was so nice, and practically empty. There is a small bar type place on the actual beach. I bought myself a peach ice tea and sat and enjoyed the view. I would recommend this trip. The ferry return ticket is only €3,70 as well…

This beach is stunning and you really feel like your on a desert island. Miles of golden sands and clear blue sea awaits you here. A short ferry ride for approx €3.70 takes you to tranquility ⛴️⛴️ There is a short walk for approx 20mins along a flat surface. Worth the effort 🌞🌞💯…
