Ribeira da Carrapateira Lagoon and Dunes

Highlight • Beach

A wild beauty, endlessly wide and long and almost unvisited in May and September (apart from Survern). Here the Ribeira da Carrapateira flows into the Atlantic - at high tide it forms a lagoon with shallow and warm water.

October 26, 2024,🇵🇹 Pedralva - Carrapateira 2024

Today we start with the guided hike to the Atlantic coast and along it.
Unfortunately, the weather forecast was not so good.
The route initially ran from Pedralva on a well-signposted farm track. Several illegal settlers had settled in the area and were causing destruction of the sensitive nature with their "construction work".
