The Seixal Natural Pools encompass a variety of stunning swimming spots, including the Poça do Mata Sete. Although the access road can be challenging to locate, as it requires navigating a steep and narrow street, the effort is well worth it. I would advise against attempting the descent by car, especially if your vehicle is low to the ground. Once you arrive, you will be greeted by crystal-clear waters and breathtaking vistas of the São Vicente coastline. This location is truly a paradise for nature lovers and beachgoers alike.
