More than a thousand years ago, the region of Aveiro was a bay. There was a beach where today is the river that marks the landscape of the region. Centuries of sediment, brought by the river Douro into the sea, have been accumulated along the coast, helping to build the sand languages and the current ecosystem.

Along the beach, the landscape changes radically, providing the possibility of entering into direct contact with a complex ecosystem, fragile and at the same time fascinating.
Here, the dune landscape is undoubtedly the protagonist: the wonderful balance between the action of the winds and the tenacity of the numerous species of plants have shaped this coast for centuries.
