ArmonaIsland is reached via a 15-minute walk-on ferry from Olhão, the Algarve's largest fishing port and home to the best daily fish market in Portugal.
Upon reaching Armona (aerial photo, below), you'll see that "main street" is a wide, paved sidewalk leading from the dock's busy cluster of cafés and private homes out towards the Atlantic Ocean beaches on the far side of the island.
The hidden, shallow inlet beach 50 steps behind Casa Armona is perfect for children, shell collecting, clamming, star-gazing, exploring the ever-changing sandbars and, of course, lounging and swimming.
Armona Union was formed a year later, 11940 - Ô41 with the addition of Rustic, Paddock and Armona Schools and New Home came into the district a year later.
Island School District encompasses the original Island and San Jose School Districts which include up to the Lemoore Naval Air Station on the West to south of Fargo Avenue, the largest area in the Lake precinct.
Unionization of the San Jose and Island Schools took place in 1955 but the new building was not completed for five years.
Holiday accommodation in Ilha de Armona, Nr. Olhão, Eastern Algarve. 2 bed beach house.(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Houses, a few cafes and basic shops form a settlement at the ferry-end of the island and from the ferry-jetty it is a 10 minute walk along the paths towards the Atlantic side of the island to our house.
The house is quietly situated on the western side of the island and is very close to a tidal lake.
With no roads or cars on the island, and no TV in the simply furnished house, this is an ideal location for beachlovers, families with children, birdwatchers or those who just want to get away from it all.

The only service on the island is a water supply; we have installed the first hot water solar panel to bring creature comfort to a simple way of living, away from the media circus.
A photovoltaic solar panel supplies electricity for sophisticated lighting, water circulation and entertainment by way of CD/radio - leaving sufficient power for lap-tops, mobile phones etc. Thanks to the combination of modern insulation materials and sea breezes, the house is cool even during high summer.
Still unspoilt, it has a lovely beach on the mainland and another on the island of Armona which can be reached by small boats which cross the narrow channel of sea.
On the water front there are cafés, restaurants and traditional handicraft stalls; the small white painted houses of the fishermen and their little boats on the beach make it all the more charming.
LOCATION: outskirts of Fuzeta (most facilities; beach: 1.5 km; boats to Armonaisland).
Before we left Vilamoura for the more remote anchorage of Ilha da Culatra we spent an evening with Hanna and Jochen from Lycka who were undecided as to whether to go onto Madeira or head east.
Culatra anchorage is open to the west wind and therefore it is not recommended...
minutes by boat (from Faro or Olhão) to the island of Culatra, which is the southernmost point in continental Portugal...

The ARRL has advised that this will be sufficient to make the VK0LD eQSL card valid for Macquarie Island according to the ARRL rules for DXCC accreditation.
This gesture is PRIMARILY for those stations who ONLY worked VK0LD (Macquarie Island) and need it for a new country or band/mode but DID NOT work either VK0MM or AX0LD".
