This is the most scenic beach as there is the installation of the giant old anchors in the dunes next to the sea. Also to reach the beach it is possible to use the antique train which regularly goes through the island (1,5 km) and is very instagramable

it is a real treasure because the fishermen's island is almost not touched by the tourist boom. It is inside of Ria Formosa Nature reserve, and altogether 5 islands including Culatra have around 70 km of pristine ocean beaches, but Culatra and Farol next to it are the best.
