Praia do Arraial is located on the vast Tavira Island, one of the sandy barriers that make up the Ria Formosa Natural Park, in the municipality of Tavira, Faro district. This location gives it a distinctive island character, separated from the mainland by the calm Ria Formosa and bathed to the south by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Access involves a sea crossing, which contributes to its particular and preserved atmosphere.
It is characterized by its extensive stretch of golden, fine sand, inviting long walks along the coastline. The waters that bathe it are generally calm and clear, inviting a swim. Behind the beachfront, a well-preserved dune system shapes the landscape, sheltering coastal vegetation adapted to this saline and sandy environment. This natural configuration offers a setting of serenity and intrinsic beauty, where human intervention is minimal.
The atmosphere at Praia do Arraial is one of tranquility and communion with nature. The vast expanse of sand allows visitors to enjoy the space with a sense of freedom and privacy. The sound of the waves and the sea breeze dominate the soundscape, providing a refuge for those seeking coastal calm. The Algarvian light, with its warm tones, highlights the landscape, creating an appealing setting for contemplation and enjoyment of the natural environment.
