During the season local fishing boats will take you across the lagoon for approx.1.20 euros return to the beautiful unspoilt beach of Cabanas.

Benamor golf club is situated off the N125 roundabout just up the road from the apartments and there are 4 other golf courses all within an easy drive from Cabanas.

Special interest holidays
The area is ideal for walking/bird spotting/cycling, various water sports, equipment can all be hired locally. There is a coastal cycle path which is great to follow (cycling or walking) and the wildlife you encounter along here can be stunning.

Travel
Faro airport is about 35km / 40 mins drive by taxi/car. You can get a shuttle bus from the airport into Faro then a bus or train to Cabanas (under 5 Euros/person). A transfer shuttle bus direct to the resort can now also be booked online and this costs about 8 euros per person each way. A car is handy but not necessary as the bus and train services can take you all over the Algarve and over into Spain. Seville Airport is another option and is about 140km / 90 mins drive.

Further details
Along the promenade a new walkway has been constructed + the road made into a one way system so along with the recently built marina the waterfront has a really nice cosmopolitan look. You can get ferry boats to the superb Atlantic beach during the summer months from 07.00 till 1900 hours, it costs just over 1 euro return. The 3 kilometre long sandy beach is never overcrowded and has a cafe/bar, you can also hire different water sports equipment and is ideal for walking or just chilling out. During the winter months there is a limited boat service to the main beach, you obtain tickets at the nearby Pedras da Rainha reception. The boat times are 10.00, 12.00, 1400, 16.00 and catch it at the Golden Club beach. The local bus and train services are ideal to get to different places on the Algarve and to Spain and are well priced as are the local taxis. The cafe bars and restaurants are all excellent in their own ways and offer good local & international cuisine at very reasonable prices. The O'Escalho cafebar/bakery on the complex is run by a lovely local family serving lunches, snacks and evening meals and is good to go in anytime of day + free WiFi.
In the village you will find the indoor market selling fresh produce meat/fish/fruit and veg, several small supermarkets, butchers, banks, post office, chemist and gift shops. In nearby Tavira you will find the Grand Plaza shopping centre with a large supermarket, a wide variety of shops and eating places.
Tavira is a very historic town with lots of character and superb riverside restaurants,to have lunch at one of these is a holiday must do. In the other direction from Cabanas is Villa Real San Antonio which is the last town of the Eastern Algarve,here you can get a ferry across the river to Ayemonte in Spain and is well worth a visit but bear in mind time difference(they are 1 hour ahead of Portugal). We supply a full information pack when you book which includes a detailed local map + everything you need to know.
