Location

The Pocinho Natural Pool is located in the coastal town of Candelária, in the municipality of Madalena, on Pico Island. This bathing area is integrated into the Pocinho zone, offering a direct point of contact with the Atlantic, framed by the unique landscape of the volcanic island.

Its coastal position allows for easy access to a bathing area that harmonizes with the natural surroundings, marked by the rock formations characteristic of this part of Pico's coastline.

A Formation of Natural Origin

The Pocinho Natural Pool stands out for its origin and shape, resulting from the island's own geology. The volcanic rocks, shaped by the action of the sea over time, created a kind of natural indentation or bay that functions as a bathing spot. Its waters are continuously renewed by the tide, ensuring remarkable freshness and clarity.

This geological formation provides natural shelter, making the bathing experience more protected from ocean currents and allowing moments of serenity to be enjoyed in the warm waters of the Atlantic.

Environment and Landscape

The surrounding environment of the Pocinho Natural Pool invites relaxation and appreciation of the landscape. The contrast between the deep blue of the ocean and the dark tones of the volcanic rock creates a uniquely beautiful setting. The tranquility of the place is punctuated only by the sound of the waves, which gently break on the coastline.

This space is ideal for those seeking a swim in calm waters, surrounded by a natural landscape characteristic of Pico's coastline, and where one can feel the untouched strength and beauty of the Azorean archipelago.
