Take a trip with me to Praia de Faro (Algarve Portugal) also known as Faro Island. In this Portugal Travel Guide we take a leisurely stroll to the beach on Ilha de Faro (Faro Island) and visit Wax Resto Bar

The Ilha de Faro is connected to the mainland via a single road bridge, and this central area is the most developed section of the beach, with bars, restaurants and low rise hotels. There is a road which follows the beach in both directions and is lined with Portuguese holiday homes and smaller beach bars, that eventually leads to deserted beaches at either end of the Ilha de Faro.

The main activities on the Praia de Faro are simply relaxing, toping up the tan, or chilling out in one of the beach bars. For the more active visitors, there is a surf school which provides lessons and hires surf boards.

Kayaks and stand-up paddle boards can also be hired from the “Centro Náutico da Praia de Faro” to explore the water ways of the Ria Formosa Natural Park.

Swimming in the sea is not a very pleasant activity, as the sea temperature is shockingly cold, only rising to 15ºC during the summer months.

The Praia de Faro is the best beach in the Faro region and is easily accessible from the city, via the regular bus service that also serves the airport (see later in this guide for details of the bus service).

The glorious soft golden sands of the beach extend for 5km, along the entire sea facing side of the Ilha de Faro (Faro Island), while the rear of the island overlooks the lagoons and tidal mud flats of the Ria Formosa national park.

It is hard to believe that this laid-back resort town is less than 5 minutes from Faro airport, and that it’s virtually unknown by foreign tourists!
