Location

The Cabo Sardão Walkways are located in a prominent coastal area, near the village of Cavaleiro, in the municipality of Odemira. This rocky promontory juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, offering a distinctive geographical setting where land meets the immensity of the sea.

Its position provides an unobstructed view of the coastline, marked by steep cliffs and the constant force of the ocean. It is a place that conveys a sense of connection with the wild nature of the Alentejo coast.

Coastal Path

Designed to facilitate access to and exploration of the Cabo Sardão cliffs, the walkways offer a safe and comfortable path. Their wooden structure integrates harmoniously into the landscape, allowing for a serene walk along the cliffs, respecting the surrounding natural environment.

With every step along these walkways, new perspectives unfold on the vast sea and the rock formations sculpted by erosion. The sea breeze and the rhythm of the waves accompany the journey, inviting attentive observation and contemplation of the horizon.

Natural Setting

Cabo Sardão stands out as a point of great natural value, being a significant habitat for coastal flora and fauna. The local vegetation, adapted to strong winds and air salinity, exhibits a unique beauty. This is also one of the rare places where white storks choose cliff tops to nest, a remarkable phenomenon in Europe.

The experience of walking along the walkways is an opportunity to appreciate the biodiversity of this coastal segment and witness the resilience of wildlife. The location is particularly conducive to contemplating nature in its purest state, with the vastness of the Atlantic as a backdrop.
