- Clifftop viewpoints and Atlantic panoramas — jagged headlands and rocky promontories give wide, dramatic views of the Atlantic; great for sunsets and watching fishing boats drift along the coast.
- Sandy beaches and coastal dunes — quiet stretches of sand backed by dune grasses and low scrub; good for a long, peaceful beach walk or a lazy swim away from crowded tourist spots.
- Maritime forest and dry-thicket habitats — dense coastal thorn-scrub and small woodland pockets shelter surprisingly diverse plant life, including iconic West African trees like baobabs and other drought-tolerant species.
- Birdwatching hotspot — a key stop for migratory and resident shorebirds and seabirds: terns, waders and gulls are common, plus passerines in the scrub. Binoculars pay off here—small flocks and migrant

- Birdwatching hotspot — a key stop for migratory and resident shorebirds and seabirds: terns, waders and gulls are common, plus passerines in the scrub. Binoculars pay off here—small flocks and migrant waves are regular sights.
- Rocky shore and tide pools — low-tide rock pools reveal small marine life (crabs, mollusks and little fish); great for slow exploration and close-up nature watching without needing a boat.
- Short coastal trails and easy hikes — a network of footpaths links viewpoints, beaches and the village; hikes are generally short and runnable in half a day, but bring water, sun protection and decent shoes for rocky bits.
- Headland viewpoint by the chapel — the promontory near the village (where the chapel stands) is both a cultural landmark and one of the reserve’s best natural lookouts, offering sweeping sea views and a good spot for spotting seabirds and dolphins offshore.
