Arrábida Natural Park

Arrábida Natural Park is a protected landscape in southern Portugal where a dramatic limestone mountain range rises steeply from the Atlantic Ocean, creating one of the most distinctive coastal environments in the country. Established in 1976 and covering approximately 176 square kilometers, the park encompasses the Serra da Arrábida massif, which reaches 501 meters at its highest point, along with coastal cliffs, beaches, and marine areas. What makes this park particularly notable is its geological character: the carbonate geology and white limestone formations create a landscape that resembles Mediterranean coastlines rather than the typical sandy shores and cliffs found elsewhere in Portugal. In 2025, the park was designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve, recognizing its ecological significance and the successful integration of terrestrial and marine protection. The area supports a remarkable diversity of habitats, with 42 habitat types including Mediterranean woodlands, coastal dunes, and karst cave systems, supporting both Euro-Atlantic and Mediterranean vegetation communities.
