The town, situated in the heart of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, has the second largest fishing port in the Algarve. Besides fishing, salt extraction and the gathering of shellfish and bivalves are the traditional activities of the local population.

An internationally important wetland, the Ria Formosa is a labyrinth of canals, islands, marshes and sandbanks, stretching along 60 km of the eastern Algarve coast between Praia do Garrão and Praia da Manta Rota. This important natural environment is part of the daily routine of the locals " Olhanenses” who enjoy the barrier islands and the fantastic white sandy beaches and crystal water all year round, especially in summer.
