Description

The Douro Estuary Nature Reserve is located on the south bank of the Douro River and encompassing an area of 62 hectares. It is an important resting place, feeding and shelter of many species of migratory birds (especially waders that move along the Atlantic coast). The reserve has a coastal front, a dune restinga called Cabedelo, an interior area of estuarine characteristics and also marshes. The reserve has two observatories accessible by walkway and a conditioned access zone (ZAC), this being the best way to ensure that everyone can enjoy the space with minimal disturbance. It is a great place for birding, the shore birds are everywhere. More than a hundred bird species have already been seen in the Douro estuary. See the birdlist below.
