Conceicao e Cabanas de Tavira travel guide

Traditional Portuguese boat at the dock. View Cabanas de Tavira.

Pretty little Portuguese houses, its well worth a walk around the streets behind Avenida Formosa for the quaint village feel away from the cafe bars.

The boardwalk stretches along the river front, nice for a leisurely stroll or to sit and enjoy an icecream whilst looking out over the Ria Formosa #NationalPark. You can get a boat/water taxi across the river to the beach Ilha de Cabanas.

The boardwalk runs parallel to the avenida which is lined with cafes and bars, the vibe is casual, and the alfresco dining view is hampered slightly by the boardwalk.

I recommend a walk along the boardwalk with a stop for an icecream from one of the café shops on the street, but take a seat on one of the benches not the café an enjoy the view over the Ria Formosa #NationalPark wetlands.
From here get a boat/water taxi across the river to the beach Ilha de Cabanas for a spot of sunbathing or birdwatching as rare birds come to the wetlands to breed.
