São Pedro
Whole beach to ourselves! The beach in Faro is often overlooked in favour of the other beaches along the Algarve, making it quiet and unspoilt. Close to the airport, it's definitely worth a visit!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

I wish we had taken the "red umbrella tour" at the beginning of our week in Faro rather than on our last day. The guide was great and gave us a lot of tips about the area and we wished we had more time to explore. I guess we will need to return.

3/5 - Okay

The airport is all we saw of Faro. It was an easy airport to navigate.

Nice place with lots of shops and eateries. Lots of twisty turn roads, but not too difficult to drive around.
