Tavira coastline is calm and peaceful, with extremely inviting eleven kilometres of fine white sand beaches and very warm water. The beaches are crossed by Ria Formosa Natural Reserve, offering pleasant boat trips and the chance to observe the typical wetland flora and fauna, most particularly the water birds. It is estimated that counting both the resident and migratory species that can be seen here, Ria Formosa hosts more than 30 thousand birds each year.
