Cabanas de Tavira
Is former fishing village on the east-southern coast of the Algarve. With a little more than one thousand permanent residents, it has become a popular tourist destination in the summer because of its beautiful beach, Praia de Cabanas, located on an island just offshore (Ilha de Cabanas), which belongs to Ria Formosa Natural Park. Tavira is the nearest major town.
The town is a long line of low-rise shops, bars and cafés facing the Ria Formosa with moored fishing boats lining the seafront.
