What a hidden treasure! The parking nearby the beach is complimentary, but be prepared for a crowd. The beach boasts a waterfall at one end and showers at the other, making it a convenient spot for a refreshing rinse. The sand is a unique and beautiful black volcanic variety, but be mindful as it can cling to everything. The nearby restaurant is a delightful spot to indulge in tasty and reasonably priced local cuisine, making it a must-visit destination.
This is a great place to grab a drink or coffee, take in the beautiful scenery, and unwind. If you're in the vicinity, it's definitely worth checking out the peaceful atmosphere (just keep in mind that this review was written during the off-season).
Undoubtedly, this beach boasts of one of the most breathtaking natural pools globally, making it a sight to behold.
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.
