Terra Estreita Beach is located on Tavira Island, within the Ria Formosa Natural Park. It is situated opposite the village of Santa Luzia, a fishing village known for its strong connection to the sea and octopus fishing.
Its name comes from the fact that it is located in an area where the sandy strip of the barrier island is particularly narrow, creating a unique landscape between the Ria Formosa and the Atlantic Ocean.
This beach stands out for its extensive sandy area and, compared to other beaches on the island, for its tranquility. The available space on the sand is considerable, providing a feeling of greater isolation and peace for those seeking to relax.
It is a place where the atmosphere invites long walks along the seashore and enjoying the quiet, away from the busier areas.
The natural environment of Terra Estreita Beach is one of its main attractions. The sand is fine and golden, and the sea waters are usually calm and pleasant for swimming.
The dune vegetation, characteristic of these barrier islands, is visible and important for ecosystem stability. Sometimes, it is possible to observe the sea daffodil with its flowers, a species that beautifies this coastal landscape. To protect the dunes, there are wooden walkways that facilitate access to the sandy area.
The quality of the water and sand at Terra Estreita Beach is recognized by quality seals. The presence of the Blue Flag and the Gold Quality award certify the good environmental indicators and the preservation of this natural space.
