Parque Natural da Arrábida - Pedra da Anixa
Other
This 40-metre-long island is 250 metres from the coast, near the beach of Portinho da Arrábida.
Its enormous biological diversity is due to the rich composition of its rocky depths, surrounded by a relatively barren sandy sea-bed.
Its complex structure of underwater platforms, cracks and cavities has given rise to a great diversity of marine micro-habitats, providing shelter and serving as breeding grounds for a wide variety of marine species.
More than 70 species have already been recorded at Anixa, as well as scores of marine invertebrates. It enjoys a status of partial protection as a zoological reserve.
