Praia do Barril

Praia do Barril is a beach with history. In the past, the tuna caught here was brought ashore and transported to the mainland by a small train. This train is now used as passenger transport. But you can also walk along the railway and you will be there within 15 minutes on foot.

​

The anchors as seen here in the photo, are a tribute to the fishermen who died during fishing. An anchor has been placed for every fisherman who died while fishing.

​

There are several restaurants at the beach and there is also a toilet and shower. Lifeguards are also present here in the summer months.

 

The beach is huge so there is plenty of space, even during the high season. 

When you walk a little out of the crowded place to the East, there is an unofficial  nudist part.

​

This beach is easily accessible via N125 and is located between Luz de Tavira and Tavira.
