The Sado Estuary nature reserve is located in the heart of the Alentejo, on the calm waters of the Sado River. This is an ecological refuge, protected and preserved, which offers us a unique experience close to nature.
With a breathtaking landscape, the banks of the River Sado blend into the extensive salt marshes, coastal dunes and salt pans. The diversity of habitats creates a stunning setting where the wealth of wildlife makes it a must-see for nature lovers.
When you visit the Sado Estuary nature reserve, you’ll come across pink flamingos. You can see them gliding across the water, as well as other water birds found in the reserve.
The waters of the Sado Estuary are also home to the Sado bottlenose dolphins, the resident population of dolphins that live in the region. Boat trips along the Sado Estuary offer the chance to get up close to these mammals known for their intelligence. And providing an unforgettable experience for those who visit.
The Sado Estuary nature reserve is a natural treasure that enchants all who explore it. From the wealth of wildlife to the coastal landscapes, every visit is an experience of discovery and connection with nature.
