You depart from the modern Troia Marina, nestled in Setúbal Bay, which provides excellent facilities for over 180 boats and easy access to both the Sado Estuary and open sea. A day trip from here reaches the wild Comporta Beach, the protected Sado Nature Reserve with its dolphins and flamingos, and the deserted shores of the Tróia Peninsula.
