Location

The Feteiras Natural Pool is located in the area of Canada do Porto, a tranquil zone in the locality of Feteiras, which belongs to the municipality of Ponta Delgada, on the island of São Miguel. This spot is situated on the coastline, offering direct proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.

Its position by the sea provides a natural setting that reflects the beauty and serenity of the Azorean maritime landscape.

Natural Formation and Character

This natural pool is the result of volcanic rock formations, shaped by the continuous action of tides and waves over time. The rocks form a basin that, in the past, would naturally fill with seawater, creating a space for interaction with the coastal environment.

Currently, the site maintains its original structure as a natural pool, although it is not in use for bathing. Its geology and how it integrates into the coastal landscape are elements of interest for those exploring the area.

It is important to be aware that this area does not have supervision. The tranquil atmosphere and the natural beauty of the place are the main attractions for those seeking moments of observation.
