In this 18C church, you can see an attractive retable in gilded wood.

This Roman church, added to in the Baroque period is covered with azulejos dating from 1730. The azulejos were designed by Bernardo, an artist known by the name of Policarpo de Oliveira Bernardes. Those on the walls and vault depict scenes from St Lawrence's life and his martyrdom... The large panel of azulejos on the church's flat chevet shows St Lawrence under a Baroque scallop.

The beach is a strip of sand, which is linked to the mainland by a bridge which runs between the ocean and the Ria Formosa. From the eastern point, you have a lovely view over Faro, the whiteness of which is reflected in the water.

In calm sea the trip takes you past sandstone cliffs and rocks that have been sculpted into strange shapes by the water. You will see 18 of the Algarve's most beautiful marine grottoes (Pontal, Mesquita, Ruazes).
