About Ollo do Mar
A shallow coastal cove in Foz, close to the activity center and often included in kayak tours along the cliffs. The area mixes islets, caves and a calm inner lagoon, so it suits very shallow snorkeling or introductory scuba when conditions are settled. Large schools of bream and sea bass are reported in the lagoon, making the site more about sheltered life and structure than open-water exposure.
