We did a tour and the last stop was here and honestly it's one of a kind experience. Only €3 pp for entrance. It's a must, even though water was not warm I absolutely not regreting having the chance to visit. Thumbs up.

Great place to swim, enough room to put down your stuff, there are also lockers if needed, place to change, showers, clean toilets, food was cheap and you have a student discount.

The pools were very beautiful. I had never seen anything like this before. However it was cold the day we went there and believe me it was July. It takes sometimes to find parking in this area and also you need to queue for sometime to get inside as it's very popular place. I would suggest this place to everyone as it's a bit different concept, the pools are well managed. But be prepared for for the crowd and unexpected cloud coming from mountains.

Nice pools filled with sea water. Entrance fee for adults was 3 eur. There is a restaurant located by the pools, for food and bewerages. If you are in the town, you must visit the pools and dive into the water. Also you can jump into the sea near the pools, if the sea is relatively calm. The view at the pools is breathtaking.

Great natural sea salt water pool and kids friendly, specially when the weather is good, when its sunny and without much wind. Check the madeira webcams for the weather and wind before driving there for about an hour.
