Armacao de Pera

The Atlantic Ocean defines the setting of Armação de Pêra — a broad sandy beach runs alongside the town, placing seaside walks, swimming and the holiday season at the centre of local life. On Portugal’s Algarve coast in the Faro district, it has grown from a fishing settlement into a well-established resort while retaining an older core close to the shore. The 17th-century Fortaleza de Armação de Pêra beside the beach recalls the coast’s former need for defence. Beyond town, the Algarve shoreline changes between extensive beaches, limestone cliffs and small coves. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different stretches of the Algarve coast.
