Really enjoyed this beach out of season. There were still places to eat in the old village complex and plenty of information boards explaining the history of tuna fishing on the island. It's an easy bus ride from Tavira. You walk over the footbridge and can walk or catch the little train to the settlement and beach. On the day we went the waves were huge so wave jumping was safer than trying to swim. Plenty of natural beauty and walks around the sandbank. Great place to explore on a sunny day.

サンタルジアの絶景ビーチ Praia do Barril - 家族やカップルに最適な観光スポット

Praia do Barril was once a bustling tuna fishing village, established in the 1840s, with about 80 families living there during the fishing season. The decline of the tuna population led to the abandonment of the village in the 1960s. Today, remnants of this era, such as the Anchor Cemetery and restored fishermen's houses now serving as cafes and shops, serve as a testament to its rich history.
