Why not visit one of the deserted beaches along this part of the coast?
Beaches:
The nearest beach is on the Ila de Tavira which is accessed by boat. A 5 min walk from the apt is the bus station-there you can take a bus to Quatro Aguas(QA) and from there the boat to the beach. If you don’t mind walking a little further you can take a boat from the riverside in Tavira. If you have a car you can drive and there is plenty of parking at QA or you could drive to Pedras del Rei and take the toy train across to the beach at Barilla. There are plenty of restaurants at both beaches.
Golf:
The Eastern Algarve is a golfers paradise, with 7 world class courses within a 20km radius of the appartment;
Benamor 4km away (5494m par 71) ranked in the top 10 courses in Europe with great sea views.
Quinta de Ria, 7km away (6110m par 72), is an 18 hole golf course in the Ria Formosa natural park-it has been described by golfers as the most breathtaking in the region.
Quinta de Cima, 7km away (6256m par 72 ), opened in 2002; the greens are tricky and well protected by large bunkers. Voted best course on the Algarve in 2004.
Monte rei North (6567m par 72), designed by Jack Nicklaus, opened in 2007. A round of golf here includes green fee, shared golf buggy and bottled water.
Quinta do Vale (6511m par 72) designed by Seve Ballasteros-it sits in a natural valley overlooking the Guadiana river. Seve's promise was to create a course to please everyone no matter what their handicap.
