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.

Estúdios Salinas

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel! We only stayed one night unfortunately but would love to go again. Perfect for families with little kids "

Monte dos Avós Village - Pets Friendly

6/10 Okay

"A nice quiet location, train station and bus stop just down the road. Apartment was clean and together although some of the cupboards in the kitchen needed lifting to close and there wasn't any cleaning supplies (washing up liquid, clothes/sponges or coffee). Had ants or some small creature that got into the kitchen and ruined the bread left out, needed to keep the kitchen spotlessly clean and food in the fridge overnight."
