Lagoon Santo Andre: Lagoon Santo Andre, located in the county Santiago de Cacém, is the largest lagoon of the Alentejo's coast. Near the ocean, it is surrounded by a kilometres long sandy shore, and is adequate for windsurfing, angling and other leisure activities. Old traditional fishing boats can still be observed, and it constitutes an ecological treasure as nesting area for several migrating bird species. Its water is of medium quality, reaching temperatures above the ocean water. Special attention should be given to dangerous pit spots and to the possible existence of lost fishing nets in the bottom. Every year, during the high tides season, a channel to the ocean is opened with heavy earthmoving machinery, therefore renovating its water and its fauna. In a fish rich area, visitors should taste some of the delicatessen of the Alentejo's coast, such as fish stew and eel bouillabaisse.

Alentejo: To the south of Portugal, beyond the River Tagus ("além do Tejo" in Portuguese), there stretches a vast, undulating and seemingly never-ending plain: the Alentejo. It is easy to become completely enveloped in its landscape, a clear expression of the harmony that can still exist between humankind and nature. Dotted here and there, amidst the vibrant colours of spring or the ochre hues of autumn, are to be seen brilliant white houses, with their doors and windows framed in blue or yellow. Standing like watchful sentinels in the midst of this great immensity are the so-called "eagle's nests": centuries-old towns nestling behind their defensive walls and awaiting your peaceful "attack". The calm and beautiful beaches along the Costa Vicentina are much sought after, mainly because they still retain most of their natural features and provide excellent conditions for water sports.
