It is located just 500 meters from the town of Burela, so it is easily accessible. From here, most of the seabirds of these latitudes can be observed without difficulty, especially during the autumn migration. The most common are Northern Gannet, Common Scoter, Great Skua, Pomarine Skua, Arctic Skua, Kittiwake, Little Gull, Sooty Shearwater, Manx Shearwater, Balearic Shearwater, Great Shearwater, Cory's Shearwater, Great Northern Diver, Red Phalarope, Common Guillemot, Razorbill, European Shag, Common Tern and Sandwich Tern. In addition, other rarer ones can also be observed such as European Storm Petrel, Wilson's Storm Petrel, Leach's Storm Petrel, Red-throated Diver, Long-tailed Skua, Atlantic Puffin, Sabine's Gull, Little Tern, Arctic Tern, Black Tern and Red-breasted Merganser.
In addition to seabirds, many gulls (7 species), waders (15 species) and ducks (6 species) can also be seen during migration, and some passerines can be seen on the cape itself. Sometimes rarities show up such as Brown Booby, Common Eider, Velvet Scoter, Roseate Tern, Great Spotted Cuckoo or Glaucous Gull.
