Praia de Faro

Watersports: Praia de Faro is safe for swimming and surfing, and there are lifeguards on duty keeping everyone safe. It's also popular for watersports like wakeboarding, waterskiing, and stand-up paddleboarding. You can rent equipment from stores at the beach.

Praia de Faro is quite clean and well-maintained. The gold-coloured sand is soft and fine. This makes walking barefoot on the beach possible, without shells hurting your feet.

Faro, the historic regional capital The regional capital Faro sees a fair share of visitors, but many tourists just pass through it on their way from the airport to beach towns. We stopped for a few hours to explore the city, and it was a positive surprise!
