Ilha da Armona
Barrier island · Olhão (Algarve)
Armona is the Ria Formosa’s easiest island escape — a ten-minute ferry from Olhão drops you on a sand spit with dune-side beach bars, a calm lagoon side for children and an ocean side that runs for kilometres toward Culatra, where cars simply do not exist.
Good to know
- Short ferry from Olhão quay
- Calm lagoon side, open ocean side
- Dune beach bars in season
- Walkable toward Culatra lighthouse
