I hired a car for my time in the Algarve as I wanted the freedom of exploring all the way along the coast from Cabo de Sao Vicente in the west to Vila Real de Santo Antonio on the Spanish border in the east and so didn't use the local bus. However, there is a very useful English website dedicated to bus routes and timetables etc which you can find below. If you don't have a car then this is the next best way of getting around the Algarve as well as the train, details of which are also provided on the same website.

The boat shuttles between the island of Tavira and Cabanas beach - one of the 4 most beautiful beaches in Europe. It runs hourly and cost only a little more than 2 euros for round trip. Its a pleasant 20-minutes' boat ride and you can enjoy the beautiful harbor and bay all the time.
You go towards Fish Market and find the place of embarkation just next to it.
The name of the company is: Sinido, Transports Fluviais,Lda

I arrived by bus from Seville. The bus station is by the river, just 2 minutes walk from the central square, the Praca de Republica.
The train station is 1km from the centre, straight up the Rua da Liberdade. From here, you can take slow trains to other towns on the Algarve, or the express to Lisbon.
The nearest international airport is Faro, only 30km away.
Spain is only about 30 minutes drive away too.
Tavira is small and easy to walk around.
