Noted Nature Park

Great care has been taken to preserve large areas of Vilamoura for the indigenous flora and fauna. The Nature Park was created to protect the natural wetlands and as a haven for wildlife: it quickly established itself as a breeding ground for certain species, and a stopping-off point for migrating birds.

A research and study centre is open to the public, and there are walks and watch-towers around the site.
