Barril Beach- Santa Luzia, Algarve Portugal
The Praia do Barril is one of the finest beaches of the eastern Algarve, and makes for a fascinating excursion from Tavira.

Barril beach not only provides pristine white sands and crystal-clear sea waters, but also an insight to the fishing heritage of the region. The beach was once the location of a small tuna fishing community, and the remnants of this bygone industry have been transformed into the beach’s tourist facilities.

The most notable feature of the Praia do Barril is the Cemitério das Âncoras (Anchor Cemetery), a rusting memorial to the abandoned fishing community. In the sandbanks where the boats were once hauled, hundreds of anchors used by the fishing fleet have been placed.
The Praia do Barril is a great location for a beach day, but it is also a fascinating place to visit.
