Lagoa de Albufeira
A lagoon of approximately 1.3 km² with an elongated shape, formed by two main lagoon bodies connected by a narrow channel. Surrounded by vast sandy cliffs, this location has calm waters and serves as a refuge for migratory, aquatic, and wading birds. It is believed that this lagoon may have been the Tagus River's route to the sea, located 150 meters away. This fish spawning ground has protected dunes.
