Ria de Alvor—Your Nature Reserve The reserve covers 1454 hectares. There are numerous walks of varying lengths which explore its diverse habitats, along the beach (or the extensive boardwalk), along the cliffs at Quinta da Rocha and inland along the Alvor river towards the village of Mexilhoeira Grande. Walks away from the beach can be reached from beside the church in the town of Alvor, and along the beach or boardwalk from the beach car park.
On the waterfront on the other western side of the estuary where the River Odiaxere enters the sea is an excellent birdwatching site and one of the best places to see Flamingos, which appear regularly in various spots along the coast of the Algarve.
The estuarine ecosystem is also rich in many other ways and of profound importance to a varied wildlife, both resident and migrant, which has been recognised through its designation as a Natura 2000 site, also giving it special environmental and conservation protection.
A programme of improvements to the waterfront at Alvor includes a boardwalk and a cycle and jogging trail through part of the reserve. This excellent facility allows people of all mobility levels to see and enjoy many of the wildlife species without damaging fragile habitats by walking directly through them.
