The Salga natural pools are located in the locality of Salga, integrated into the municipality of Angra do Heroísmo, on the stunning Terceira Island. Situated in the area known as "Zona das Piscinas" (Pools Zone), this bathing area benefits from a privileged position on the island's south coast. Characterized by its serenity and open view over the Atlantic, the coastal surroundings invite leisure and contemplation of the Azorean landscape.
This bathing area stands out for its semi-natural pool, an area that harmonizes the local volcanic rock formation with a human intervention designed to provide a safe and pleasant bathing environment. It is a particularly popular spot for families, as its waters are calmer and more protected, ideal for visitors of all ages to enjoy a refreshing swim. The combination of dark rock with the clear blue ocean creates a naturally inviting scenario.
The Salga natural pools are known for the tranquil environment they offer to their visitors. It is a refuge for those seeking moments of relaxation by the sea, whether to swim in its crystalline waters or simply to enjoy sunbathing in a natural setting. The calm atmosphere of the area allows for an authentic and relaxing experience, where the sound of the waves accompanies the Azorean experience, inviting a pause and enjoyment of the beauty that Terceira Island offers.
