Lagoa de Albufeira Beach

The beach extends along the Atlantic Ocean with two deep lagoons carved into soft sands, stretching inland for one kilometer through marshlands.

Portuguese royalty selected this location during the 19th century for meditation sessions, drawn by the natural surroundings and coastal environment.

Local fishermen maintain traditional artisanal practices in the waters near the beach, contributing to the maritime heritage of the Sesimbra region.

The beach provides facilities including lifeguards, bathrooms, showers, equipment rentals, restaurants, and parking spaces near the main entrance area.

The water system contains Portugal's deepest lagoon, reaching 15 meters in depth, while maintaining shallow areas suitable for diverse activities.
