Tavira Island Day Trip Algarve
Algarve, Portugal
About This Activity
Take a short ferry from Tavira town to Ilha de Tavira, a barrier island with a wide Atlantic beach and calm lagoon side. Spend the morning swimming and walking the island's sandy paths, then return to Tavira for the afternoon: cross the Roman bridge, visit the castle ruins, and browse the fish market. A relaxing contrast to the busier beaches near Lagos.
* Tavira Island * Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo * Tavira Castle * Ponte Romana * Cacela Velha
Seasonal note: Island ferry runs April–October; peak beach season June–September. Tavira old town is rewarding year-round; the island itself is quiet outside summer.
