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 Vlastelica, Morski Kulik, Kulik Blatarić, Prugasti Pozviždač, Zlatar Pijukavac, Crvenonoga jarebica, Kameničak, Bijeli Žalar and Žalar Cirikavac.
