Patoku Lagoon, Protected coastal lagoon in Lezhë County, Albania.
Patoku Lagoon is a shallow coastal water body with sandy shores and clear water that stretches across several kilometers. The gentle waters and protected coves create a calm setting to explore.
The lagoon formed thousands of years ago through natural geological processes that slowly shaped the coastal area. Its current structure developed from tectonic movements that molded the landscape.
Fishing families have lived and worked here for many generations, using methods passed down through families. Their presence shapes how the lagoon functions and gives the place its character today.
The lagoon is accessible by roads connecting to nearby towns, making it easy to visit at different times of year. Spring and fall are ideal seasons to see birds and other wildlife.
The lagoon floor is covered with dense seagrass meadows that provide food and shelter for many fish species. These underwater meadows are a key reason why this water body is protected.
