Beaches
For many years, Manta Rota beach was just a small fishermen’s village. However, this beach is in present day a very famous beach, due to its tepid peaceful waters. It is one of Europe’s longest beaches, placed in the borderline between the open sea, the dunes and the barrier islands of Ria Formosa.
Activities
Leisure park inserted in the National Forest of Santa Rita. It has a small playground for children, with some children's amusement equipment, being especially nice on the hottest days. The leisure park of the Santa Rita / Conceição de Tavira Forestry Perimeter is a natural space where there is a small herd of semen that you might be lucky enough to observe. It also has four footpaths, a picnic area, a children's playground and a waterfowl observatory, being a perfect place to be in direct contact with nature and what it has the best to offer. It is frequent the observation of the duck, the blue handle, the hoop, the red partridge and the rola. Also the wild boar, the fallow deer, the rabbit, the hare and the snake snake coexist in this habitat.
It had its initial afforestation in 1920, with acacias and eucalyptus trees. It had as its initial function the exploitation of firewood for lime kilns and tannins for the tannery industry. The landscape is as attractive as it is diverse, both at the level of fauna and flora. The forest cover is now made up of acacias, eucalyptus, meadow pine, cork oak, holm oak and some cypress and carob. The fauna presents a rich offer not only in birds but also in mammals, reptiles and amphibians.
Beaches
Tavira Island (Portuguese: Ilha de Tavira) is found South of the city and can only be reached by boat, which departs from the city center and from Quatro-Aguas. The Island is 11Km long and varies between 1Km and 150m width.
Activities
The Natural Reserve of Sapal de Castro Marim and Vila Real de Stº António (RNSCMVRSA) is located in the southeast of the Algarve, near the mouth of the river Guadiana, covering a territory integrated in the two municipalities that give it the name: Castro Marim; and Vila Real de Sto António.
The salt marsh of Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António was the first Nature Reserve created on the Portuguese continent.
The biological interest of the area in its multiple ecological, botanical, ornithological and ichthyological aspects, the archaeological value of the Castro Marim agglomerate, as well as the high sensitivity of the area and its influence on regional economic factors, such as fishing, saliniculture and of tourism, were the reasons invoked in the diploma that creates the Reserve.
From the viewpoint that is the castle of Castro Marim, built by Alfonso III in 1242 and around which the village grew, one can admire the curious reticulated landscape, mixed estuary, marshes, brackish water bodies, salinas, pastures , puddles, props and extensions without vegetation.
A geometry of lands and waters to which the mirror of the salty confers unforeseen reflexes. Nowadays, saliniculture, fish farming, agriculture and fishing share the essential part of the exploitation of natural resources.
The Natural Reserve is confused with the marsh which extends along the Guadiana, between Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António, a flat area with low altitudes, furrowed by a network of steers that ensure drainage and open to salt water. The dominant monotonous green alinda is in the spring with the red with which the Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum covers the slopes of the salinas. The highest areas have spots of Mediterranean maquis.
The steers are prime spot for breeding fish and crustaceans. Castro Marim serves as a habitat or simple refuge for the large population of water birds, namely the Stilt Himantopus himantopus and the tailor Recurvirostra avosetta. The white stork Ciconia ciconia stands out by the number of occupied nests. Also present were summer birds, the case of the flamingo Phoenicopterus roseus and the dwarf tern Sternula albifrons, and wintering birds, such as the limosa littoral tortoise and the common prairie Calidris alpina.
In the near coastal dunes one records the occurrence of Chamaeleo chamaeleon chameleon, observable in certain sections of the Algarve coastal strip and even in the barrier islands of Ria Formosa.

What they say
Here we are close to everything but in a quiet and rural place away from all the hustle & bustle. We love the people and the surroundings, in fact we know more people here than in Rotterdam!
Kevin & Barbara O Rourke from Lancashire
Great camp / caravan park on the Algarve very near to Spain. Not your average park. 4km to beach. Sea view from park. Been coming here 3 years now . Nice people and great part of the world.
Ian McNally
What a find, a beautiful park in a great real life setting close to the beaches, but not in the touristy hub of it. Very friendly people both staff and home owners. We love it here, and this is where we want to call home in a few years.
