In July / August it might be different, but in June a really tranquil place.
Did a bike tour from the "Parque de Campismo Orbitur" campsite, which is around 8 km to the north and is also highly recommended.

This river runs from south Almodôvar (Serra do Caldeirão) to the Atlantic Ocean. With 135 km long, it's possible to be navigated from Vila Nova de Milfontes to Odemira town.
