The lagoon of Albufeira is located about 30 Km south of Lisbon, on the coastal area. The lagoon is shore-normal, elongated and consistes of a series of interconnected elliptical cells. Local authorities artificially breach the barrier every Easter, allowing a tidal inlet to develop that temporarily allows water exchange with the ocean. Its permanent flooded area is small (circa 1.3 Km2) but it is the deepest Portuguese coastal lagoon, depths exceeding 15 m.
Recreational activities occur on the beach and seashore resorts on the seaward side of the lagoon. Most visitors to the area originate from nearby urban areas such as Lisboa and Setúbal, although international visitors are also common. Close the strong sea-waves, the calm Albufeira Lagoon has the ideal characteristics of several water sports, mainly: windsurf, sailing, canoeing and fishing.
The lagoon is very important as a traditional source of fish and shellfish to nearby areas and there is a major social event associated with the opening of the lagoon to the sea in easter week each year. Traditional agriculture occurs in small, irrigated plots around the margins of the lagoon.
Surrounded by extremely beautiful geological foundations, which include other beaches, this peaceful lagoon also boasts wonderful fauna and flora. It is also integrated in the Fossil Hillside of Caparica Coast.

 

Arrábida amounts to a special slice of the Mediterranean in the Atlantic Ocean and is one of the points where the Portuguese sea can be seen at its most splendid. Covering an area of 10,821 hectares, the park is situated between the fishing village of Sesimbra and the city of Setúbal. It forms a rectangle running parallel to the sea and includes the Serra do Risco, Serra de São Luís, Serra dos Gaiteiros and Serra do Louro. The Serra do Risco represents the highest point on the Portuguese mainland coast. Here, there is a magnificent cliff that stands sheer above the sea at a height of 380 metres and provides an unforgettable panoramic view over the Atlantic.
This meeting between the mountains and the sea has given rise to a string of small hospitable beaches, from Outão to Portinho da Arrábida, and passing through Figueirinha, Galapos, Ingleses and Coelhos. These beaches are of the kind that one would only expect to find in Mediterranean paradises, each bathed by crystal-clear waters.
Overlooking the beach of Portinho da Arrábida is the Fort of Nossa Senhora da Arrábida. Here, you can find the oceanographic museum, which provides valuable information about the fauna and flora of this entire region. Throughout this area, there are a large number of animal and plant species rarely found elsewhere on the Portuguese coast. Attention is drawn to the island of Pedra da Anixa, a highly important zoological reserve, valued for its sub-aquatic vegetation. There is an information centre at the park´s headquarters and several walks that you may like to try.
