Tavira Island Beach (Algarve) is located outside the Tavira settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Tavira Island Beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"This beach on the Algarve is truly stunning, with its white sand dunes and charming little bars and fresh fish restaurants. Despite being a popular spot, it's surprisingly peaceful and tranquil. In fact, I would say it's one of the best beaches in the area. If you're looking for more space and privacy, just take a ten-minute stroll down the beach."
Nathaniel Navarro
"Although the beach was quite crowded, it was absolutely stunning. The ferry ride to get there was also quite lovely. During our visit, we were fortunate enough to spot numerous flamingos and a handful of spoonbills."
