About This Place
Lagoon Edge is a peaceful off-grid stay beside the Lagoon de Óbidos, with open views, wide skies and nature all around. The camping area feels spacious and remote, with no visible infrastructure and plenty of room to settle into the surroundings.
The lagoon is well known for kitesurfing, while the nearby coast gives easy access to surf beaches and Atlantic sunsets. Flamingos, migratory birds and fireflies can also be seen here at different times of year.
It is a strong choice for active days on the water followed by quiet evenings, dark skies and a slower pace by the lagoon.
