The São Jacinto Dunes Nature Reserve has some of Europe’s most spectacular dune land. Stretching north from where the Ria de Aveiro meets the ocean, it is some 280 acres in extent. Consisting of a mixture of woodland, sandy beaches, marshlands and both fresh and salt water, it has trails and bird hides. Fresh water ponds and the pateira (small lagoons) attract wild fowl, including herons. Guided tours are available and it is best to book in advance, as visits are restricted to 2½ hours with set entry times. Do see the miniature boat collection at the information centre.
