Name: The beach offers of two man-made seawater pools, one charming natural pool, and numerous direct pathways to the ocean. On the day we visited, the waves were a tad too strong for the natural pool and the ocean, but not to worry as the artificial pools came to the rescue. Although not as exciting as the natural ones, they provide a safe haven, especially for children. The stunning scenery from the beach is a sight to behold, and parking is a breeze.

Very nice

Poca das Mujas

10 Luan.

This beach is an idyllic location that is impeccably maintained. It boasts convenient amenities such as restrooms and showers, along with a handful of sun umbrellas to provide shade on sunny days. The flat grounds make it easily accessible for those with wheelchairs or strollers, and there are a limited number of parking spots available for added convenience. Additionally, there is a charming shop on-site that offers refreshments and snacks. However, it is important to exercise caution when swimming as jellyfish may be present.

This beach is an amazing spot for swimming, diving, and snorkeling.

The oceanic water, formed by Pico's lava, has created a stunning natural pool that is both beautiful and incredibly calming.
