Being a dazzling sandy bay of the Algarve Coast, Praia do Carvalho is gorgeously tinted with golden sands and a sapphire watered beach that gives it a splendid look. This beach is at its best during the low tide when you just lay down for beautiful tanning or if you are an active explorer, try to unravel the enigmatic caverns and tunnels found here. The sea caves are a must to explore while the high tide season fills these caves that results in water shooting out of blowholes making it appear more pleasing. The best way to visit these sea caves is by boat, kayak or SUP.

It is not as much of a teeming beach and that’s why many tourists come here looking to spend their beach time in solitude. But the amenities are short so keep snacks, drinks and all other requirements ready while coming here and the location will actually make your visit a special one with its impressive quietness. You can endeavor kite surfing during windy days here but refrain from sunbathing when wind gets a little stormy.

Ilha de Tavira is actually on the Tavira Island where you can arrive by a ferry coming from the Tavira city. The island is merely 11 km in total length and Ilha de Tavira covers most of its part. Its fabulous location is inherently natural and there is even a camping park for staying over while most of other buildings have been banned and closed. This beach island is replete with natural environment and is wonderfully an eye treat for both nature lovers and beach travelers.
