While Pilrito-escuro can be found in suprisilngly large numbers moving between the breakwaters. Pilrito-comum, Pilrito-sanderlingo, Petinha-marítima and Petinha-ribeirinha can be found on the beach and the breakwaters, too. Gulls and other waterfowl can be seen in this areas as well. Mobêlha-árctica and Mobêlha-pequena can be seen offshore.
A lot of passerines are moving along this part of the coast during spring migration. Some of them rest in the bushes and small woodlands behind the dunes.
To get a good look at the birds on the beach and the breakwaters an early visit before most beach visitors and their dogs have arrived is recommended.
