The beach with the most warm and calm waters. This litle paradise was distinguished by the "Condé Nast Traveler" magazine as one of the best beaches in the world. When the tide rises, the access is via a short boat trip along the Ria Formosa, with departures from the pier. At low tide, it is possible to walk through the marsh. 📍Cacela Velha

Ilha Deserta or Ilha da Barreta - in the middle of Ria Formosa, in a sapal that extends for 60 km and where it is possible to observe small labyrinths of sand, canals and banks during low tide. It's eleven kilometers of pure quiet and silence because it's a very little frequented beach. Access is made only by sea, from Cais da Porta Nova in Faro, on a trip that lasts about 30 minutes. The clear water, which lets you see the shells and fish at the bottom, can reach 24°C in the summer, which makes the whole experience much more enjoyable. Barreta beach is watched during the bathing season and has only one restaurant, Estaminé, one of the best on the Algarve coast with fish and fresh seafood. It also has an area for the practice of naturism, which was approved by the Municipal Assembly of Faro. The island also has very well preserved dunes, with natural vegetation, and a wooden walkway, which is next to the Ria, from the boarding pontoon.
