Beaches
The closest beach to Casa Nautica is the Ilha de Tavira, a popular attraction for locals and visitors, summer and winter. A picturesque ferry trip takes you there from the riverside in the town, during the summer, or from the four aquas' jetty, in the winter. Cafes and bars available, but limited opening hours during winter.
The Barril beach, close to Pedras del Rei, is often voted by our guests as the best beach. The most notable feature of the Barril beach is the Cemitério das Âncoras (the Anchor Graveyard), a rusting memorial to its former tuna fishing fleet, which comprises of the anchors embedded into the sand dunes close to the beach. The idyllic views from the train to the beach and the beautiful silver sand certainly make it worth a visit. Cafe and bar available.
