Overview

Lagoa de Santo André is a large coastal lagoon within the Reserva Natural das Lagoas de Santo André e da Sancha, between Comporta and Sines. Despite appearances, kitesurfing is prohibited inside the lagoon as it is a protected nature reserve.

The ocean side of the sandbar offers conditions similar to Comporta and Carvalhal — NW Nortada, some waves, sandy beach. But kites are rarely seen here. If you have the choice, head to São Torpes/Sines for more reliable wind, or Lagoa de Albufeira for flat water.

The beach (Praia da Costa de Santo André) itself is family-friendly with calm lagoon swimming, good infrastructure (showers, restaurants, parking).
