Lined up along the coast, they play an essential role in protecting the park. All are <strong>easily accessible by ferry from Olh\u00e3o or Faro<\/strong>, so all you have to do is choose one to explore and spend a few hours on one of the superb beaches.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each island has its own ambience, but they all have one thing in common: <strong>fine sandy beaches and a real sense of disconnection<\/strong>. Whichever one you choose, it&#8217;s hard to be disappointed. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The island of Faro<\/strong>: accessible by car from Faro, this is the most attractive of the islands, with its long sandy beaches, but it&#8217;s also <strong>the busiest<\/strong>, especially in summer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#x2764;&#xfe0f; <strong>The island of Armona<\/strong>: the closest to Olh\u00e3o and one of the easiest to get to. We loved it for its <strong>car-free village<\/strong>, peaceful atmosphere and <strong>long ocean-side beaches<\/strong>.<br\/>&#x1f449;   <em>It&#8217;s the one we chose to revisit and, above all, took the time to enjoy its beach (one of the most beautiful in the Algarve, in our opinion).

With just <strong>one bar\/restaurant<\/strong> and vast natural beaches, it&#8217;s the perfect island to feel <strong>alone in front of the ocean<\/strong> <em>(we wanted to explore this one, but the ferry schedules didn&#8217;t match).<\/em> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tavira Island<\/strong>: long and narrow, renowned for its <strong>unspoilt natural beaches<\/strong>, easily accessible from
