    Perfect for kids as the lagoon is very shallow. Also for people that don't like the colder sea water.

    Beautiful place, with sandy beach as well as activities on the water, such as kayaking. We hired a kayak from the small place opposite. Nice cafe nearby as well. Great day out.

  • 5/5 Patrícia Castanho C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A magnificent place. Sea on one side and lagoon on the other. The lagoon is perfect for children to play. The only drawback is the hand of the man who continues to leave his mark wherever he goes. If you can't improve the place you go, at least make it the same. (Original) Um lugar magnífico. Mar de um lado e lagoa do outro. A lagoa é perfeita para as crianças brincarem. O único senão é mesmo a mão do homem que continua a deixar a sua marca por onde passa. Se não conseguem melhorar o sítio por onde passam, pelo menos deixem-no igual.

  • 4/5 Ilda P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is good for children to play freely, the quality of the water has been better since it had a strange smell and color since the last time I was there. (Original) É bom para as crianças brincarem à vontade, a qualidade da água é que já esteve melhor tinha um cheiro e cor estranha desde a última x que lá estive.

  • 3/5 Isabel B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The water was full of seaweed, it smelled bad. We were on the bank where access to the beach was made only by 4X4 vehicles, otherwise the car was at risk of getting stuck in the sands. We had to walk for 1 km to find the Lagoon. Despite everything we had a fun day. (Original) A água estava com muitas algas, cheirava mal. Estávamos na margem onde o acesso a praia era feito apenas por veículos 4X4, caso contrário o carro sofria o risco de ficar atolado nas areias. Tivemos que caminhar por 1 km até encontrar a Lagoa. Apesar de tudo tivemos um dia divertido.

  • 3/5 Rita F. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The lagoon area had a lot of mud. On the sea side, you need to walk a long stretch of sand to make the beach. (Original) A zona da lagoa tinha muito lodo. Do lado do mar é preciso andar uma grande extensão de areia para fazer praia.

    (Translated by Google) Lagoa today was a disappointment. Sludge in the water, with paper and plastic spread over the sand. It was a little depressing. (Original) A Lagoa hoje foi uma desilusão. Lodo na água, com papel e plástico espalhado pelo areal. Foi um pouco deprimente.

  • 5/5 Ariane B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the highlights of this beach is that you can choose whether you want the beach with access to the ocean or to the nearby lagoon - this makes it a perfect spot for families. The beach is clean and not very busy which makes it a great place to enjoy and relax. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Jim Kelly A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great place! There are multiple beaches. You've got the ocean on one side and a lake like place to chill. Lots of opportunities for different kind of water sports.

  • 5/5 Karim R. 1 year ago on Google
    Super

  • 5/5 Alex S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite beaches you have 2 sides one for the family with kids and the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and let's not forget the magnificent sand dunes. The best of the 2 world's simply perfect.

  • 5/5 Rui Pedro Da S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing

  • 5/5 steven m. 1 year ago on Google
    Great favourite of mine. South Coast from Lisbon about 40 minute drive. Hidden gem where you can enjoy the saltiness of the sea or fresh water. Super clean beach just make sure you bring your sun lotions as it can get pretty hot. There's a beach bar/restaurants at really good modest prices. With in the location if you look around there are some shops and restaurants. Be pre warned arrive early or you will be having difficulty parking the car 🚗

  • 4/5 D B. 9 months ago on Google
    Beautiful lake in Sesimbra, not very crowded and with a delicious water. It's a bit far from Lisbon so if you have the chance to use a car do it. Otherwise, you will spend over an hour to get there by public transport. Or you can order an Uber or Bolt like I did (if you're going with other people you can share the trip so it's cheaper). They have toilets as well, which is awesome. Bring your own food and drinks.

  • 5/5 Francisco S. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent place for kids. The water is warmer than the ocean and it has plenty of shallow parts for kids to play. The beach area is also huge, so a lot of people can stay in the area without feeling too crowded.

  • 5/5 Nuno Ribeiro O. 8 months ago on Google
    Don't destroy the dunes and don't throw sand into the channels. Don't bring your car near the water please. No garbage in the sand, please. Toilets ou wc's are extremely needed even if temperature of the water descrese...

  • 3/5 Sébastien B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful landscape overall, but there is a lot of waste in the water and on the beach near the pond. Pity and disappointing. (Original) Paysage très beau dans son ensemble, mais les déchets sont nombreux dans l'eau et sur la plage du côté de l'étang. Dommage et décevant.

  • 5/5 Just Relax H. 6 years ago on Google
    Lagoa de Albufeira Beach, Sesimbra Beautiful place. The lagoon is fed mix of fresh water from the streams and salt water from the ocean, it is calm and great for families with kids. Surrounded by pine forest. Sand dunes. Also has a restaurant on the beach. Different type of sports activities, like sailing, windsurfing, kite surfing and canoeing. Great at sunset. Very popular. Could be a bit overcrowded on weekends.

  • 3/5 Flavia S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The pond most of the time is stinking. They made a channel for seawater to enter, but it is not always enough. In summer it gets very crowded (Original) A lagoa na maior parte das vezes está a cheirar mal. Fizeram um canal para entrar água do mar, mas nem sempre se faz suficiente. No verão fica muito cheia

  • 5/5 paula m. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) For those who love the warmest water, the lagoon is perfect! It has been much cleaner since they opened the canal that connects it to the sea (Original) Per chi è amante dell'acqua più caldina la laguna è perfetta! Da quando hanno aperto il canale che la collega al mare è molto più pulita

  • 4/5 Nuno B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I really like this place, it has a big sandy area and good lighting, but as a rule there are a lot of people and the water in the Lagoon usually smells bad because of the mud and algae. (Original) Gosto muito deste local, tem um grande areal e bons acesos, mas por norma tem muita gente e a água na Lagoa costuma cheirar mal por causa do lodo e das algas.

  • 5/5 aline lima de o. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) An incomparable landscape! In the summer it is true that there are many more people ... There is camping, access is difficult in parts, but you can get there. It is worth watching the sunset! (Original) Uma paisagem incomparável! No verão é verdade que tem muito mais pessoas... Tem camping, o acesso é um tanto dificultoso em partes, mas pode-se chegar. Vale a pena ver o por do sol!

  • 4/5 Cínthia R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The lagoon is not so pleasant, except for the warm water (compared to everything in the region). The full of fish bothers you. Great for windsurfers and those who want to camp. (Original) A lagoa não é tão agradável, exceto pela água quentinha (comparada com tudo que há na região). O cheio de peixe incomoda. Ótima para praticantes de windsurf e pra quem deseja acampar.

    (Translated by Google) A vast space with various uses, from water sports to simply going to the beach, taking a walk or having a meal. (Original) Um espaço vasto com várias utilizações, desde a desportos náuticos à simplesmente ir fazer praia, passear ou tomar uma refeição.

  • 3/5 RsBsD 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful landscape. Lagoa beach has too many people for my taste. It is suitable for bathing for young children, but not for adults. The sea-only beach is unsuitable for bathing since the sea is very rough and dangerous. We still need to know the small lagoon and its biodiversity. Next time maybe. (Original) Bonita paisagem. A praia da Lagoa tem demasiada gente para o meu gosto. É adequada para banhos para crianças pequenas, mas não para adultos. A praia só mar é inapropriada para banhos um avez que o mar é muito batido e perigoso. Falta conhecer a lagoa pequena e a sua biodiversidade. Fica para a próxima.
