Walking from Culatra to Farol only to find that everything was closed (out of season), it was like a ghost town. It did give us a chance to wander around the village and what a fabulous quirky garden…Full review by johnhp702

Apart from a great beach bar, I am not sure that I would visit Farol out of season. There is not much to see and on a cool October day not much enthusiasm for swimming or staying on a beach.Full review by James G

Lovely little island, beach spacious and clean, little bars dotted along. Will definitely return. Ferry crossing 30 mins and very calm.Full review by DoDommu
