The coast near Cavaleiro is characterised by steep cliffs of about 40 - 50 m high and individual rock columns standing out in the sea.
On these cliffs you can observe many kattohaikara nesting in late winter and spring. Above this coast a narrow path leads, which shows new rock formations, bays and a wild ocean. Be careful with the cliffs! Most of them are safe, however all off them must be taken with caution.
In addition to birds of rocky slopes (tuulihaukka, muuttohaukka and sinirastas) birds of rough areas can also be seen inland. In addition to mustapäätasku and mustaleppälintu, the pikkutrappi also occurs here. Furthermore, this is an area where you can observe marine seabirds passing.

Português: Nestes penhascos, é possível observar muitas kattohaikara a nidificar no final do inverno e na primavera. Acima desta costa, há um caminho estreito que revela novas formações rochosas, enseadas e um oceano selvagem. Cuidado com as arribas. A maioria delas são seguras, contudo, devem ser encaradas com cautela.
Além de aves características de encostas rochosas (tuulihaukka, muuttohaukka e sinirastas ), também é possível observar aves de zonas agrestes no interior. Para além do mustapäätasku e do mustaleppälintu, o pikkutrappi também ocorre nesta área. Para além disto, é uma zona onde é possível observar passagem de aves marinhas.
From Cavaleiro, the CM 1124 takes you to the Farol do Cabo Sardão. Parking is available at the football stadium just south of the lighthouse. Press P on the map for directions. The walk below takes 2 to 3 hours. The coastal path here is much longer, allowing for much longer walks.
