Lagoa de Albufeira, Protected lagoon in Sesimbra, Portugal.
The Lagoa de Albufeira consists of three interconnected water bodies: the Large Lagoon, Small Lagoon, and Estacada Lagoon, spanning 43 hectares.
Since 1987, the lagoon has been part of the National Ecological Reserve, establishing a protected zone for numerous bird species and marine life.
Local fishermen maintain traditional mussel farming platforms within the lagoon, continuing a long-standing practice of sustainable aquaculture.
The lagoon offers designated areas for windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing, and canoeing, with separate zones for different water activities throughout the year.
With a maximum depth of 15 meters, this lagoon system receives freshwater from three rivers and saltwater when the sand barrier opens in spring.
