Faro is lovely and the beach isn't too far, but personally, I'd head over to Albufeira, Vilamoura, Lagos or some other more resort town. The more west you go, the nicer the beaches get, so if that's what you're looking for, head out. If it's more of a city break, you're perfectly fine to stay in Faro (it is small, but quaint), but I would stay in the central and go to the beach ad hoc rather than the opposite

Via the ferry boat, is great fun and goes from the central faro harbor

Взрослый билет в 1 одну сторону 1.90€, в обе стороны 3.20€

Hi. There is one cash machine opposite hotel aeromar, just at the bridge. There's only the little supermarket but I don't recall them having beach type things, just food. Hope you have a wonderful week. J

I thinks it's more SUP and swimming than snorkeling, loads of beach bars with beers from 2-3€ a pint

Today it is raining. March 2017 November 2016 was still very nice. We have had a few bad days this week. Some days looking good 20 degrees

Oi! Estivemos em Faro ainda com o tempo favorável e aproveitamos muito as praias no Algarve. Nos hospedamos no hotel Eva, frente à marina de Faro e próximo do centro da cidade. Como alugamos um veículo, o deslocamento ficou facilitado e a cada dia íamos para uma praia diferente. O hotel Eva é excelente, ótimo atendimento. Para quem gosta de atividade física, possui um ginásio muito bom e uma pista em frente para quem gosta de caminhar/correr. Um pouco de dificuldade é com relação ao estacionamento para veículos, pois o mesmo é público e nem sempre conseguimos vagas.

You can find small rest.and cafes at the enterance to the beach, you will see them while you pass the bridge there is a statu, at the left and right of it there are some places around there, far away of that you can only find sand and ocean:)

Not sure. I was there in Feb. and only surfers were in the water. If there is they'd be at the main square where the causeway ends, over the bridge at the T-intersection. Maybe the little Google earth man can look for you.

The closest supermarket is Pingo Doce, about 4 km away near the airport
