Praia de Faro, located on Faro Island in Portugal, stretches for over 3 miles (5 kilometers) with soft, golden sands. One side of the beach faces the open sea, while the other overlooks the Ria Formosa National Park, a haven of mud flats and wetlands. Visitors can explore the park’s natural beauty by bicycle or boat, offering a unique blend of coastal and ecological experiences. The beach’s expansive shoreline and dual views make it a distinctive destination in the Algarve.
