Go to Tavira Island, you can either take a boat from Quatro Águas, or from the city center near the fishing boats harbour. See the detailed schedule for transportation to the Island of Tavira in the Tavira Island page.
Mostly all the beaches in Tavira are supervised and are awarded with the Blue Flag for quality. The sand is very white and the water tends to be around 16C to 20C in the summer. Be aware of the strong sun and always wear a good protective sunscreen. Also avoid going being exposed between 12 and 3 p.m., people with very white skin tend to get burned very quickly and it’s a bit painful.
