Ollo do Mar: shallow Foz cove for snorkel and easy scuba
Shore cove in Foz with a calm inner lagoon, islets and caves, best for shallow snorkel or easy scuba when the sea is settled.
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.
