The Walk
A circular walk along the forest inland trails and coastal paths
The walk is a loop through Salir do Porto forest and headlands of approximately 6 km. An easy walk with some shade at the beginning and distant views of the sea and bay near the end. Mostly sand and gravel with a couple of places to navigate small rocks and trees. If unsure of your footing, a pole(s) may be helpful. We will end by walking through the village back to the cars. For those that wish to divert to a cafe, there is a large one by the swimming pool and beach. We will walk by a smaller one with limited outdoor seating. Of course, they can be visited afterwards, also. ON LEASH (2 meters), WELL SOCIALIZED dogs are welcome. Be aware that if canine behavior is deemed inappropriate for a group walk by the leader, you may be asked to separate from the larger group.

The walk is about 6.25 km and is expected to take about 1.5 hrs.
