The Furna Bathing Area is located in the locality of Santo António, in the municipality of São Roque do Pico, on the northern slope of the island. This coastal spot offers a wide perspective over the ocean and the surrounding landscape, a setting distinguished by its proximity to the island's volcanic nature.
The geological character of the Furna Bathing Area is one of its most striking features. The area is defined by the presence of large volcanic rock formations that extend into the sea. These rocks shape the coast in a particular way, creating indentations and coves that become more sheltered nooks, ideal for swimming.
This coastal leisure area combines the beauty of natural pools, sculpted by the action of time in the volcanic rocks, with the functionality of two artificial pools that are filled with seawater. Additionally, there is an area that allows direct access and swimming in the open sea, offering a diverse experience to visitors.
Furna is renowned for the quality of its waters and the bathing conditions it provides. The infrastructures available on site were designed to ensure the comfort and safety of visitors, allowing everyone to enjoy its facilities in an accessible and pleasant way. Concern for environmental maintenance and hygiene is constant in this bathing area.
