Cais Palafítico da Carrasqueira

Portugal - Setúbal

Located in the heart of the Sado Estuary near Comporta, the Cais Palafítico da Carrasqueira is one of Portugal’s most fascinating and photogenic spots. Built in the 20th century by local fishermen, this network of wooden walkways and piers on stilts stretches over the marshlands, creating a striking and atmospheric scene, especially at sunrise or sunset.


Wandering along the rickety wooden paths, visitors can admire traditional fishing boats, observe birdlife in the surrounding wetlands, and take in the peaceful beauty of this unique landscape. The site is also a dream location for photographers, with its mirror-like water reflections and rustic charm.


Best of all, visiting the Cais Palafítico is completely free, making it an excellent day-trip destination for those exploring the Alentejo coast.
