Many pretty, colorful fishing boats anchor in the romantic lagoon, the Ria Formosa nature reserve. The lagoon flows like a river between the mainland and the offshore islands, a paradise for people, flora, and fauna alike.

Ria Formosa Natural Park 🌳

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Ria Formosa Natural Park covers over 170 km² of coastal wetlands in a system of barrier islands that communicates with the sea through six inlets, and is an important stopping place for hundreds of different birds during the spring and autumn migratory periods. However, as the park was designated only in 1987, several coastal towns and important cities are located in or near the Ria Formosa such as Pedras d'El Rei, Tavira, Faro and Olhão.
