It consists of a lagoon with dunes, mudflats, and salt marshes and is rich in birds and other wildlife. It is a popular spot for hiking, birdwatching, and kayaking, with boardwalks crisscrossing the area. The nearby fishing village of Alvor adds to its charm, offering a combination of nature and beach.
