Costa da Caparica
Across the 25 April suspension bridge from Lisbon, magnificent sandy beaches stretch south for nearly 30 kilometres from Caparica to Cabo Espichel.
Caparica, itself a fishing village and cluster of guest houses and small hotels, is principally a summer resort for the people of Lisbon.
What to see.
On the cliff above the beach with its brightly-coloured sardine boats, stands an old Capuchin Monastery originally founded in 1558. For bathers, an open-carriage railway runs for 10 km along the beaches of the Costa da Caparica during the summer months.
Nearby.
Further south and sheltered by pine forests, Lagoa da Albufeira offers sandy beaches and a lagoon-type family atmosphere with restaurants, a campsite and well-organised wind-surfing school.
Lagoa de Albufeira
The lagoon of Albufeira is located about 30 Km south of Lisbon, on the coastal area. The lagoon is shore-normal, elongated and consistes of a series of interconnected elliptical cells. Local authorities artificially breach the barrier every Easter, allowing a tidal inlet to develop that temporarily allows water exchange with the ocean. Its permanent flooded area is small (circa 1.3 Km2) but it is the deepest Portuguese coastal lagoon, depths exceeding 15 m.
Recreational activities occur on the beach and seashore resorts on the seaward side of the lagoon. Most visitors to the area originate from nearby urban areas such as Lisboa and Setúbal, although international visitors are also common. Close the strong sea-waves, the calm Albufeira Lagoon has the ideal characteristics of several water sports, mainly: windsurf, sailing, canoeing and fishing.
The lagoon is very important as a traditional source of fish and shellfish to nearby areas and there is a major social event associated with the opening of the lagoon to the sea in easter week each year. Traditional agriculture occurs in small, irrigated plots around the margins of the lagoon.
Surrounded by extremely beautiful geological foundations, which include other beaches, this peaceful lagoon also boasts wonderful fauna and flora. It is also integrated in the Fossil Hillside of Caparica Coast.
