The Praia da Lagoa de Albufeira (Albufeira Lagoon Beach) is a unique beach in Portugal and is close to Sesimbra. To one side the beach faces the Atlantic Ocean and is part of the 30km beach stretching the length of the western side of the Setubal Peninsular. Flowing into the rear of beach are three minor rivers and these rivers combined with the tidal currents have carved out deep lagoons in the soft sands.

The three lagoons stretch over a kilometer from the beach and around the edge is soft sand. The lagoons are a popular location for novices kite or wind surfers as the flat water makes for an ideal area to practice while the fierce waves of the beach are perfect for surfing and bodyboarding.

The whole of Praia da Lagoa de Albufeira is a part of a National Ecological Reserve and the surrounding area is popular with walkers and bird watchers. Praia da Lagoa de Albufeira is a great beach as it offers two completely different styles of beach set right next to each other and is so large that even during the height of the summer months there is still plenty of space.
