| Salt Marsh Natural Reserve |
| Covering an area of 2,089 hectares, with wet areas of salt marsh, salt pans and creeks and dry areas of schist soils, red clay, arenite and sand, the reserve contains a wide variety of biotopes. It therefore offers a unique opportunity to observe the different ways in which plants and animals adapt to the natural environment. For most visitors, the reserve's biggest attraction is undoubtedly the large number of birds - especially aquatic birds - that can be seen there. |

Coastal Dunes National Forrest of Vila Real de Santo António - The cool shade of the pine trees of the National Forrest that links Vila Real de Santo António to Monte Gordo enticingly invites trekkers to take invigorating nature walks, getting to know the flora and fauna. Ria Formosa Nature Park - Cacela
Velha - A ridge of dunes and a string of islands - a barrier
located south of the beach along Ria Formosa, creating the tranquil
environment for fish and molluscs to thrive before they venture
out into the ocean. Its unmatched biodiversity offers plenty of
