Its story

Çardak Lagoon is a shallow body of water on the Çardak shore in Lapseki, separated from the sea by a sand spit. This spit, known as Kum Adası (Sand Island), and the lagoon are an important feeding and resting area for flamingos, herons and various waterbirds, especially in winter and during migration. You can walk around it and watch the birds from a distance. Being close to the ferry pier for Gelibolu, it offers a short nature break on a journey.
