The nearby beaches of Ilha da Tavira offer 13km of fine white strand -- and a remote nudist beach.

The Ria Formosa nature park surrounds Tavira. The Algarvean hills, while not officially a nature park, offer a further opportunity to commune with nature -- or just to wander.

The Guadiana Valley (the border between Spain and Portugal) with its many walled towns offers some excellent sightseeing -- you can also take a river cruise to see the towns. Tavira itself has many Moorish remains -- and, of course, a Roman Bridge still in everyday use.

Golf courses abound, there are five within 5 to 15 mins drive. The nearby Benamor course (3 miles) offers an excellent venue for lunch while the Quinta da Cima course is rated by those in the know as one of the best course in Portugal (Nº 1 in Portugal according to the authorative 2004 PEUGEOT Guide).

And there is always the sun and the water sports if you run out of things to do!
