The salt-scented wind pushes you out of Gale Beach as your e-bike hums to life, wheels crunching over compact sand and coastal trail. Low cliffs open to broad Atlantic views; inland, the Salgados lagoon glints like a shallow mirror where waders probe the mud. A local guide keeps the pace steady, pointing out reedbeds where warblers flick and an old stone quay that remembers fishing boats and long tides.
