Lagosteiros
Lagosteiros: Atlantic boat reef with macro life.
Plan a Sesimbra boat dive to a shelf-rock reef off Cabo Espichel, with limited visibility, Atlantic exposure, and strong macro interest.
About Lagosteiros
Lagosteiros is a boat-access reef off Sesimbra's Cabo Espichel cliffs, usually dived with a local operator rather than as an easy shore entry. The site is built around shelf-shaped rocks with soft corals, lobsters, and other Atlantic life, and it rewards a calm-day plan with a guide who knows the route and the local exposure.
