Luz de Tavira

Guía de viaje

Ilha de Tavira is one of six barrier islands that makes up 18400 hectares of protected nature reserve along the Ria Formosa along with wetlands, mudflats and hundreds of species of plant and wildlife. 

The island itself has a commercialised centre with wooden walkways and cafes, bar, restaurants as well as a camping area (no hotels on the island). I felt a bit like i'd arrived at a theme park but once you go thought this and on to  the beach, its lovely. A blue flag beach, 11km of coastline, sun shades and sun beds to rent but plenty of sand to spread out a towel away from the hustle and bustle. 

The island beach is only accessible by boat and there is a water taxi and ferry service that operates daily. During the summer tourist months the ferry runs from Tavira centre from the quay side near the indoor market. But in the offpeak months (even in May) you have to go to the Quatro Águas pier. (Don't be fooled by the ferry moored on the quay looking like it is waiting for passengers!)

The walk to the ferry felt long, it was probably 20 minutes of so but in the baking sun along deserted road and salt fields it felt a trek. I'd recommend getting the bus if you can work out the timetables.

Lugar idílico para descansar
Entorno muy tranquilo y bonito. Buena atencion del personal. Cerca de la playa del Barril, que es casi virgen, y del pueblo de Santa Luzia donde se come un pulpo espectacular. Ideal para ir con niños.

8,8/10 Excellent! (5 opiniones)
Spacious, clean, cooking at washing facilities on premises. Although bathroom was shared it was really clean and the communal kitchen area was also clean and well equipped. Would definitely use this again. Superb restaurant right next door. Really close to airport, a really good find!
