Cachalote Natural Swimming Pools
About the Aquário Natural Swimming Pools
This free-access bathing area stands out for its picturesque outline, which offers bathers (and visitors) an untouched setting. Its natural morphology guarantees the entrance of pure and crystal-clear water of the Atlantic Ocean. It is, therefore, an excellent place to go bathing.
Although the Cachalote Natural Swimming Pools have no support infrastructure or sanitary facilities, bathers can enjoy their outdoor shower. Moreover, this bathing area is supervised throughout the bathing season.
In the proximity, there are some must-stop places when visiting the municipality of Porto Moniz. This is the case of the Madeira Aquarium, where you can come in contact with more than 90 species native to the archipelago, the Centro de Ciência Viva, where you can explore the permanent exhibition of Laurissilva - World Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, or the famous Natural Pools of Porto Moniz.
