TAVIRA Tavira is a beautifully elegant town which has still managed to stave off the influence of tourism to hold on to its unique tradition and handsome character. The market hall on the river front is ‘home’ to several shops, cafes and restaurants around the edge with the central space available for exhibitions and special events.

This stretch of river front along the Gilão River is a great place to sit at one of the cafes and enjoy the very picturesque setting.

The beach at Tavira is a fabulous island beach, Ilha de Tavira, a 14km long offshore sandspit. There are lots of delightful places to explore around Tavira starting with the pretty town of Cabanas just to the east. These two beaches offer fine white sand beaches and the average temperature of the sea water is around 22°C. The view across the sheltered lagoon of the Ria Formosa to the ilha beach is idyllic. A short distance to the east of Cabanas is another picturesque spot - the tiny village of Cacela Velha, with great panoramic views across the beaches of Manta Rota and Monte Gordo to Vila Real all set against a backdrop of lush green countryside. To the west of Tavira lies the ‘Octopus Capital’ of the Algarve - Santa Luzia! It’s worth going a little further along to Pedras D’el Rei where you can get a tourist train across to Praia do Barril, a beach in the middle of the long Ilha de Tavira.

Tavira itself is a picturesque, relaxed, peaceful town with everything to hand and is a perfect holiday spot and there are also lots of great places to visit if you want to venture a little further afield.

Come and visit us and discover the pleasure of living among friendly people, in a warm climate, where history, gastronomy and beautiful landscapes mingle to create a unique combination.

BEACHES Tavira Island

Tavira Island is found South of the city and can only be reached by boat, which departs from the city center and from Quatro-Águas. The Island as 11Km long and varies between 1Km and 150m width. It’s considered to be one of the best beaches in the Algarve Region. The Island belongs to the Ria Formosa Natural Reserve, which is popular by it’s birds and flamingos, a delight for bird lovers.

The beach has basic support facilities, like restaurants, toilets and showers, and is supervised during the bathing season.

This beach holds the blue flag, proof of its environmental quality and superiority.

Barril

Within the area of Ria Formosa, Barril beach was one of the most successful adapting to tourism growth. The old buildings that supported tuna fishing, were transformed in shops, bars and esplanades, allowing visitors to fully enjoy this western europe paradise.

Coming from the Pedras d’el rei resort, access to the beach is done through a pedonal bridge then you can catch a local touristic mini-train or you can walk approximately 1 km until the warm waters and fine sand.

Cabanas Island

Facing east of Tavira Island, arises Cabanas Island, a narrow but long strip of sand before the last bar of the estuary to the east. The beach is located opposite the village of Cabanas.

The long marginal Cabanas appear humble fishing boats anchored in the lagoon and house dressings.

The beach has equipment to support users (bars and wc) and lifeguards during the bathing season. This is also a beach suitable for windsurfing and sailing.

The access is done in small fishing boats from the marginal Cabanas (four minutes).

Praia Verde

This wide beach owes its name to the green area of pinewood that surrounds it. Reachable through a wooden bridge, Praia Verde beach is a true paradise in the Algarve that even allows you to explore some Roman ruins. And the sunsets here are absolutely magical.

The vast expanse of white sand expands endlessly to all directions. A walk in the forest would be as enthralling as a walk along the stretch of sand. You can park your car in the neighborhood and walk around 300 meters until the beach.

Michael Lowry I recently put my apartment in Tavira up for sale with ReMax, having tried before several times via other agents without success. I was advised to market the apartment at a reasonable price with a view to selling easily, and managed to secure a sale within four weeks and at a fair price. Throughout the process I was advised and guided expertly by Ricardo Concalves who was very professional at all times and kept me informed of progress throughout.

His understanding of the market and the processes involved have been vital for me and I would have found it much more stressful and difficult to sell otherwise. I have no hesitation in recommending Ricardo and his colleagues for anyone who is interested in marketing their property: outstanding service.
