Location

The Alberto Romano Ocean Pool is located in São João do Estoril, a coastal part of the Cascais municipality. It is integrated into the famous Cascais Boardwalk, a pedestrian promenade that runs along the seafront. Its location is particularly notable for being adjacent to the eastern face of Palmela Palace, thus offering a distinct visual setting. From here, one observes the vast Atlantic Ocean directly.

Characteristics and Environment

This is a pool with unique characteristics, as its waters come directly from the ocean, making it a true oceanic pool. It extends for approximately fifty meters, providing ample space to enjoy the proximity to the sea. A peculiarity of its design is the integration of a channelized portion of the Ribeira da Castelhana, which flows into its eastern area, contributing to the singular ecosystem of the place.

A Lasting Tribute

The name given to this bathing area is a tribute to Alberto Romano, a figure who played a relevant role as the former president of the Estoril Coast Tourism Board. The designation reflects the recognition of his contribution to the region's tourism development, immortalizing his legacy in a place that annually attracts many visitors seeking leisure and contact with the sea.

The Coastal Experience

The Alberto Romano Ocean Pool offers a distinct way to experience the Cascais coastline. By combining the structure of a pool with the constant presence of the Atlantic's saltwater, it creates an environment where the safety of a delimited space is allied with the grandeur of the ocean. It is a place that allows for direct immersion in the coastal atmosphere, with the sea breeze and the sound of the waves always present.
