Lagoa Pequena Interpretation Centre, Sesimbra

 

From boardwalks to hides, there’s no shortage of opportunities to get a good look at Western Swamphens, Little Bitterns, Cormorants… and with a bit of luck, Otters!

We have an explorer kit for our younger visitors – just ask at reception.

 

Lagoa Pequena is closed until 2 November, while a new observatory is installed. We will reopen on 3 November. Thank you for your understanding.
