Located in the vicinity of the Aldeia Nova urbanisation, in Monte Gordo, Vila Real de Santo António municipality, the area known as Praia de Aldeia Nova offers more than just proximity to the sea. A significant natural point of interest here is the associated lagoon, Lagoa de Aldeia Nova, a place with unique characteristics to explore.
Lagoa de Aldeia Nova is situated within a pine forest area, relatively close to the local beach access. It is located near the parking lot serving Aldeia Nova beach, making it accessible to those in the area. It is a natural space integrated into the surrounding landscape of the urbanisation.
This location is characterised by a small lagoon, enriched by the presence of aquatic vegetation like reeds, which contributes to its unique ecosystem. The lagoon is surrounded by a dense pine forest, creating a natural environment that contrasts with the more open coastal area. It is a tranquil setting that invites contemplation.
Lagoa de Aldeia Nova is particularly interesting for wildlife enthusiasts, especially birdwatchers. The combination of the body of water with the surrounding pine forest attracts various species, both aquatic, such as ducks and coots, and forest birds, which find shelter and food in this area. It is a place where, with a little patience, it is possible to observe different birds in their natural habitat. There are walking trails nearby that facilitate this observation.
