Tornada e Salir do Porto

Tornada e Salir do Porto is a parish that encompasses the Salir do Porto beach and its adjacent lagoon, a natural estuary formed by the Tornada River. The beach is wide and sandy, backed by dunes and pinewoods, while the lagoon is a calm, shallow body of water ideal for families and water sports like windsurfing and kayaking. The area is also a haven for birdlife, with herons and flamingos often seen. The nearby village of Salir do Porto retains a traditional fishing character, with simple seafood restaurants. It's a quieter alternative to the busier beaches of the Silver Coast.

Don't miss

• Swim or windsurf in the protected lagoon, which is warmer and calmer than the ocean
• Walk the wooden boardwalk through the dunes to the beach, spotting sand lizards and sea thrift
• Birdwatch at the lagoon's edge for little egrets, black-winged stilts, and occasional flamingos
