For more than half of the year, an extensive benty of the silent algarve is practically out of reach of most visitors. The reason is simple: access is boat and regular careers work only between April and October. Outside that time, only private vessels allow you to reach this beach that remains isolated during the winter.
According to the Algarve Portugal Tourism, it is Cabanas Beach, located on Cabanas Island, which is in front of the fishing village with the same name, about six kilometers east of Tavira. The boat trip from the pier of Ria Formosa Avenue lasts less than five minutes and offers a view to the São João da Barra Fort and the birds that inhabit the Ria. However, the boats ensure the connection to the island only between April and October, so, in the remaining five months of the year, the beach is inaccessible.
An island with space for all
Even in the months with the highest tourist search, the Areal is rarely full, unlike the neighboring island of Tavira. Those who walk a few minutes through the walkway find almost deserted areas, especially at the nascent end, indicated as the quietest.
It adds the publication that the beach only has a restaurant and a concession area with stalks and vesters during the summer. The blue flag attests the quality of water and white and soft sand, common to the other beaches of the region.
History and Life Piscatory
It should be noted that the origin of Tavira huts dates back to the tuna fishing campaigns, still maintaining a community linked to the sea. In the recently requalified marginal, it is possible to observe artisanal fishing boats and homes.
Explains the site that preferential access to the island is by boat, but it is important to confirm the time of the last return to avoid staying overnight on the beach. Parking with the marginal is limited, which forces to arrive early on the days of greatest affluence.
What to do and how to preserve
According to the same source, those who return to the village find several restaurants specializing in grilled fish, octopus, oysters and clams from nearby nurseries. On the island, the high walkways allow you to cross the dune cord without damaging the ecosystem.
The beach is southeast -oriented, with surveillance during the bathing season and supports such as restaurants, sanitary facilities and recreational equipment. The boat connection is ensured by regular careers and licensed vessels, reinforcing the seasonal character of access.
