Highlightspermanent lagoon, greenish water, shallow areas

About 15 minutes by 4x4, Lagoa da Andorinha is one of the park’s permanent lagoons and rarely dries up completely. Its greenish water and the large dunes around it make a beautiful setting. There are shallower areas, very good for swimming.

Being close to town and easy to reach, it is also a great option for a night visit.

Always enter the park with an accredited guide. Never jump from the dunes into the water, especially head first, and ask the guide which areas are safest for swimming — above all with children. Read our Lençóis Safety guide.
