Salt Marsh Trail, Ria Formosa Natural Park

Highlight • Trail

Away from the Ecovia you can wonderfully walk around the old salt production basins. If you're lucky, you'll see flamingos and other water birds. At low tide you can see mussel hunters in the salt marshes.

Cavacos Beach

Highlight • Beach

There is a sign that says you are not allowed to continue, just ignore it and continue, this is only possible at low tide, otherwise you will get stuck and have to go all the way back
