Farol Beach – Only One Beach, Two Different Landscapes

praia do farol em vila nova de milfontes

Right next to Franquia beach, is located Farol beach. Between the two beaches there is a jetty that, when the tide allows, enables transitions from one to another. This way, you can enjoy a few moments in the calmer waters of Franquia beach and move then to Farol beach, which has other attributes. Walking between these beaches is a deeply rooted habit among tourists who visit Vila Nova de Milfontes.

Due to its location, closer to the jetty, this is a beach where sometimes it has strong currents, so you needed to have some caution and especially follow the directions provided by the lifesavers on site.

Farol Beach – Where Mira Touch the Atlantic

Like Furnas beach, on the other side of the river, Farol Beach has a river front and a sea front. The sea front is characterized by the presence of rocks and the formation of large ponds during low tide, where children can have fun with tranquillity.

At the north end of Farol Beach there are conditions to practice Surf and Bodyboard, so it is common to see some practitioners of this sport in the water.

Here, too, is located a restaurant with a prime view, Choupana. It is said, that is the ideal local to eat a grilled fish, without taking the eyes from the sea site. Its excellent location also invites you to relax during the late afternoon, enjoying the fantastic setting of the sun, which is itself a show worthy of relief.

This beach has a small car park with a capacity of a few dozen cars.
