Location

The Porto da Eira Bathing Area is located in the area that gives it its name, Porto da Eira, in the locality of Cedros, in the municipality of Horta. This place is situated in a coastal area of the island of Faial, offering direct contact with the sea and the surrounding natural landscape.

Its position in Cedros provides a quieter environment, away from the hustle and bustle of urban centers, but still accessible for those seeking a moment of leisure by the ocean.

Natural Scenery

Visitors to the Porto da Eira Bathing Area are greeted by a distinctive landscape, marked by the presence of dark-toned rocks. These rocky formations, of volcanic origin, surround the bathing area and create a strong visual contrast with the deep blue of the Atlantic waters.

This dichotomy of colors (the dark of the rocks against the vibrant blue of the ocean) provides an interesting landscape, inviting contemplation of nature and appreciation of the geological features of the island of Faial.

In addition to its suitability for sea bathing, this space offers amenities that enhance the visitor's experience. There is an area dedicated to a picnic park, a suitable place for those who wish to have a light meal or simply relax outdoors.

The presence of this infrastructure allows for greater comfort when enjoying the maritime environment, extending the stay and making the Porto da Eira Bathing Area an inviting stop for moments of leisure and relaxation with family or friends.
