| Only 4Km from Vila Real de Santo António, the wa4rm and safe waters and luxurious expanses of white sandy beach make Monte Gordo one of the most popular tourist destinations. |
 |
| The town is, however, extremely attractive despite affording all the accoutrements such as hotels, bars and restaurants, necessary in a world-class resort. Monte Gordo also has a casino – one of only three in the entire region. |
| Meanwhile, for those who prefer to spend a little time away from the lively nucleus of Monte Gordo, the National Park of Sapal de Castro Marim borders on the landward side of the town. Here you can go for peaceful walks along well-indicated paths, through prime marshlands and observe a great variety of flora and fauna. |
