Ria de Aveiro was formed in the 16th century, as a result of a retreat from the sea and, later, a formation of coastal cords and that originated a lagoon. It was thus one of the most important and greatest geographical accidents of the Portuguese coast, Its length of 45 kilometers and its width, of approximately 11 kilometers, in the east-west direction, has a mouth that involves 11 thousand hectares, More than six thousand are permanently covered with water. The only link that exists with the sea is the channel that breaks the coastline of Barra de São Jacinto, and that allows the access of boats.
