Hundreds of meters from the coast of southern Portugal, specifically the town of Tavira lies an island of the same name that can be reached by boat. The island is characterized by its sniffness and warmth, and it is intended for tourists to have a wonderful day in the sun and enjoy swimming. The more I discover the beach, the more I see its magnificence, especially the dunes, cafes and restaurants near the beach.
Porto Santo
The picturesque beaches are the first attraction on this island located in the Atlantic Ocean, just north of Madeira Island. The island is embraced by more than 4 kilometers of clean beaches that do not witness great crowds. The island also has a host of historical attractions, including the home of the explorer Christophe Columbus, the 16th-century Councilor Palace, and the 15th-century Matriz Church.
Fayal
Part of the Azores Islands also known as the Blue Island. Fayal has three main attractions, most notably the volcanic craters, the town of Horta, as well as the beaches. The best way to explore volcanic craters is to visit the “Caldera de Vile” to get a distinctive landscape.
