Summer is still distant. In the middle there are the last winter days and spring, but there are those who are already thinking about the hot season’s holidays to secure a place in the sun on the Algarve and without having to spend so much money. As for the ideal beach for your vacation, know that there is one in the Algarve that has ‘warm’ water, as it can reach 26 degrees, and there is a hostel that charges the same amount, regardless of the time of year.
The island of Culatra, in Faro, consists of three nuclei: Culatro, Hangars and Lighthouse. It is precisely in the latter, in the lighthouse, that is the beach of Farol Island, whose water temperature reached 26 degrees last summer. As the name implies, this beach is located next to the iconic Lighthouse of Cabo de Santa Maria, which can even be visited on Wednesdays.
Can reach the island from Faro or Olhão
In cold months the beach is often deserted and, in summer, although it has more bathers, it is not crowded. It is that access to this beach is boat and there are times defined to reach it. So much can catch the boat in Olhão bound for the lighthouse, and can do so from Faro.
While the career that comes out of the cubist city operates throughout the year, the one that comes from Faro is only in operation for a few months. At the moment, from Olhão they depart four boats daily, and in summer the time is extended.
If you want to go to Farol Island Beach for a few days, the ideal may be to find a accommodation on the island, so you don’t have to catch the boat every day. There is a hostel right next to the beach whose price for two people is always the same, whatever time of year.
This means that, even in summer, a night at Bed and Breakfast Faro Lighthouse for two people costs 76 euros. The hostel stands in a typical Portuguese house with three bedrooms with individual and couple beds. Reservations can be made through.
The breakfast is included
The owner lives on the island and promises to arrive every morning with breakfast, which includes fresh orange juice, coffee or tea, toast and some fruits of the season. Once it is an inn with a family environment, the host is also available to bring you fresh meat and fish to prepare on your grill.
