Access
The bay, the beach and the marina are all easy accessible from the city. Best time of the day to see most gulls is the end of the day. Easy to combine a visit to the wetland of Paul da Praia da Vitória, which is directly to the north of the city (also described on Birdingplaces) and Pedreira Cabo da Praia which is directly south of the bay (also described on Birdingplaces).
