PRAIA DO FAROL is situated in a natural environment. The natural beach environment mainly consists of dunes and is well worth exploring. The sand is very fine and has a bright, white colour. The beach appears to be clean. There are some rock formations on the beach. The water is blue and is crystal clear. The water is very clean due to the fact that the river is amoung the cleanest in Portugal. PRAIA DO FAROL is quite short and rather narrow. The beach is flat, though on the the riverbank, it is fairly steep. There is limited food and drink available for purchase on the beach, though the restaurant overlooking the atlantic is well known for its afordable barbequed chicken and fresh fish. There are also places to eat and drink alongside the beach on the edge of the village. The beach can only be reached by walking downhill. However, parking is available near the beach. The views from the lighthouse over the bay are spectacular, amoung the best in Portugal.
