Beach·Algarve
Praia da Armona
An empty barrier-island beach reached by ferry from Fuseta — miles of sand, no cars, and the Ria Formosa at your back.
RecommendedA strong, worthwhile addition.
Essential for solitude seekers, this car-free barrier island offers the Algarve's most pristine, uncrowded sands for those willing to brave the ferry ride.
Best time to go
Summer for swimming; year-round for island isolation.

Why go
