About the Beach
What is Praia da Terra Estreita Beach?
It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Tavira.
Praia da Terra Estreita Beach presents a very extensive sand of about 2,6 Km.
It is located at Ilha de Tavira1, in the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa2.
In portuguese, Terra Estreita means, "narrow land". And so the land gets narrower while the Canal de Tavira3 widens.
The dune system, protected by a long wooden walkway, is considerably wider than the sand area left available for bathers.
The most suitable access is by boat from Santa Luzia town.
