Location

The Faial da Terra Swimming Pool is located in Faial da Terra, a locality situated in the municipality of Povoação, on São Miguel Island. This bathing area is integrated into the parish's seafront, specifically in the Outeiro area. Its location is privileged, set within a natural bay sheltered by an imposing cliff.

The place offers close contact with the Atlantic, being an integral part of the Faial da Terra Portinho Bathing Zone. Its position allows visitors to enjoy the surrounding coastal landscape, characterized by the maritime setting and the geological formations typical of the island.

A Renovated Space

This aquatic space is the result of a recent intervention aimed at its requalification and improvement. Its current design provides a modern infrastructure, focused on the user experience. Previously, there was a swimming pool built in 1993, which at the time represented a significant advancement for the local community, demonstrating a spirit of innovation.

The current version of the pool features water treatment systems that ensure the healthiness and safety of its users. This renovation has contributed to further enhancing the coastal area of Faial da Terra, making it more attractive to visitors and residents.

Connection to the Coastal Environment

The Faial da Terra Swimming Pool serves as a complement to the open-sea bathing area, which consists of pebbles and sand. Its existence reinforces the locality's historical connection to the sea, which has always been an essential aspect of life in Faial da Terra. This space allows for the enjoyment of water in a more sheltered and controlled manner, in harmony with the surrounding maritime environment.

The requalification of this bathing area reflects a continuous effort to improve local infrastructure, catering to the growing influx of those seeking Faial da Terra. The space offers a point for leisure and social gathering, ideal for enjoying the tranquil atmosphere and the natural beauty of the coast.
