The Salinas Bathing Complex is located in the picturesque Bay of Câmara de Lobos, in the area known as Trincheira. Its position offers views of the natural beauty of the bay and the surrounding coastline. Its design integrates with the rocky topography of the coast, creating an easy access point to the sea in an area where natural features might otherwise make swimming difficult.
The name "Salinas" refers to a part of local history. This designation marks the past of the site, which was once a place where salt extraction was carried out. This detail links the complex's current leisure use to a traditional activity of the region, giving it a unique identity.
Inaugurated in 2004, this bathing complex was designed to provide an inviting and safe environment for interaction with the ocean. The space features two saltwater pools, one for adults and the other designed for children. For the comfort of visitors, facilities such as changing rooms and restrooms are available. The complex also offers the possibility to use sun loungers and parasols, allowing visitors to enjoy a peaceful day by the water.
