Latest reviews on Tavira's beaches

Manta Rota Beach
10 Rahmatullah Faridz Al-Faruqi

This exquisite beach is simply divine. I am enamored with every aspect of it. During the winter months from December to April, the number of visitors is minimal, allowing you to bask in the serene ambiance and unwind. You can stretch out and luxuriate in the tranquil surroundings, indulge in a captivating book, or take a refreshing dip in the ocean. The experience is sheer bliss.

Verde Beach
10 Aurora Katsaros

This stunning beach boasts a vast expanse of soft sand and is home to a plethora of beautiful birds. However, visitors should be prepared for the occasional gust of wind, as it is a common occurrence in this area. It's worth noting that August is the busiest and most popular time to visit this beach.

Praia da Alagoa
10 Mark Zelinski.

This beach is absolutely breathtaking. The sand stretches on for miles and is so soft and powdery, it feels like walking on a cloud. If you're looking for a place to relax and soak up the sun, there are plenty of palapas and loungers available for rent. The water can be a bit choppy at times, but it's still refreshing and enjoyable. And don't forget to indulge in the mouth-watering donuts sold right on the beach - they're simply divine!

In fact, I would say it's one of the best beaches in the area. If you're looking for more space and privacy, just take a ten-minute stroll down the beach.
