Praia da Ilha da Fuzeta
Olhão, Faro · Algarve
About the Beach
Fuzeta island, reached by boat from the village of Fuzeta, has an Atlantic side with a fine-sand beach and an inner side facing the lagoon with calm, warm water. This duality makes it one of the most versatile beaches in the Ria Formosa. The preserved natural setting and the absence of cars guarantee a quiet that is increasingly rare.
