Description

Located at Martinhal beach, this is a seasonal and quite small wetland where it is possible to observe several waterbird species in autumn and winter (especially after rainfall). Despite its size, the lagoon acts as a magnet for wandering waterfowl. Among the birds you can encounter are Black-winged Stilt, Kentish Plover, Common Ringed Plover, Whimbrel, Grey Plover, Red-legged Partridge, Ruddy Turnstone, Sanderling and Dunlin.
