Praia da Culatra, Sandy beach in Faro, Portugal.
The beach extends over 2 kilometers along the southern edge of Culatra Island, featuring white sand and clear Mediterranean waters.
The island transformed from a modest fishing settlement into a maritime destination while maintaining its original coastal village structure.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices, contributing to the gastronomy with fresh seafood served in the beachside restaurants.
Visitors reach the beach by regular ferry services from Faro or Olhão, with tickets available at the maritime terminals for €1.85 to €2.50.
The beach forms part of a barrier system within Ria Formosa Natural Park, creating a protected environment for numerous marine species.
