When the tide is low, Torre D'Aires has almost no water, so you should prefer going to the island side. If the tide is up, it's a great place to try out new things. If you want, you can go to the ocean directly on the board. If you like waves, would prefer the ocean (but the waves are not so often). And, it's soft sand all around!

You can get to Faro Airport in the Algarve and then come in the direction of Vila Real de Santo António, it's a small road to the right before getting to Luz de Tavira, called Torre D'Aires. Getting there is not easy, and either a long walk or a boat trip is needed.
