Yes, many people go to this beach but thanks to its size it is impossible to see it even half full.

At the southern end of Costa da Caparica is the place of Lagoa de Albufeira, a natural sanctuary in the shape of a lagoon where many plant and animal species live. It is incredibly beautiful! In addition to enjoying spectacular beaches, you can also contemplate nature in all its splendor.

Portugal is our closest neighboring country and this is a perfect excuse to visit it.

The Landes
