Information about the Algarve
The beaches of the district of Tavira are situated upon the Islands of the natural reserve Ria Formosa.
This calm beach can be reached walking (roughly 2 km) from the Praia do Barril to the West.
There is neither infrastructure nor are there lifeguards on the spot.
The beach and the locality Pedras d´el-Rei are well signposted on the N125. Big parking areas (partly for a fee) are at disposal. Please cross the wooden bridge; after about 150 m you reach a narrow-gauge railway, which carries you (for a fee: 1,50 €) to the beach being roughly 800 m away. Beside the railway line runs a solid foot path.
Here are restaurants, snackbars, cafés and sanitary facilities at your disposal.
Lifeguards supervise people swimming and bathing.
