    The Mira Dunes Drainage Canal refers to a water drainage system that is an important and functional feature of the area. Technically, it is not a tourist attraction with an official name, but rather a key element of the region's forestry and water engineering.

    Function: The main purpose of this ditch is to drain wetlands and manage groundwater in the vast pine forest and dune area between Mira, Gândara, and Gafanhas. This helps control water levels and prevent flooding.

    Location: The ditch crosses the Natura 2000 Network Site area "Dunas de Mira, Gândara e Gafanhas". It is an element that integrates into the landscape, running parallel to the forest paths and, sometimes, to the EuroVelo 1 - Atlantic Coast Route.
