Swimming at the Lido Bathing Complex
Right in the centre of Funchal, the Lido Bathing Complex is a safe place to swim for less experienced swimmers. Here you can swim peacefully in the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean, under the supervision of the complex's lifeguards who guarantee your safety during the bathing season.
The sunny south coast of the island is also known for its biodiversity and the mild temperature of its waters. So, heading for this bathing complex, laying down your towel and diving into the sea is an activity that can be done not only in summer, but all year round. In terms of infrastructures, besides the access to the sea through the complex's various paths and through comfortable stairs, the "Lido", as it is commonly known, also has three saltwater swimming pools: two for children and one for adults. Only a few minutes away from the centre of Funchal, while enjoying the services of this comfortable bathing complex, you can swim all year round, taking the necessary precautions and always keeping an eye on the sea conditions.
