The terrain consists of long and uninterrupted stretches of white sandy beaches, high primary sand dunes, coastal forests, inland flood plains and numerous lakes and accompanying marshlands, making it an ideal area in which to walk or hike.

One can walk for miles along the pristine beaches going south toward Ponta do Oura or north towards Mimoli or even Dobella for the really adventurous.

Inland the walks are all primitive and along sand roads. The terrain off the sand roads is grassland but in places very marshy as a result of the large numbers of inland lakes, flood plains and marshes.

There are not yet any formal hiking trails so, for the adventurous, off-road hiking is very much a pioneering experience.
