ROCK POOLS

Madeira doe snot have many good beaches fro swimming, but these natural rock pools are amazing. Calm, warm water, while outside the rough Atlantic waves are crashing against the rocks. These are our three favourite spots on the island.

THE BEST ROCK POOLS ON MADEIRA

PISCINAS NATURAIS DO SEIXAL

Just a few meters 15 minutes walking from Praia Do Porto Do Seixal, these small vulcanic rock pools are less crowded than the bigger ones in Porto Moniz. You can drive all the way down to the pools, but the road is VERY narrow. We prefered to park on the main road and walk the last part.


PORTO MONIZ POOLS

The Porto Moniz pools are arguably the most beautiful pools on Madeira. Porto Moniz is located on the north-eastern side of the island, and it’s one of the farthest places from Funchal. It takes just over 50 minutes to cover the 49km between Porto Moniz and Madeira’s capital by car. The entrance fee for the pools is 3€ / day. The lava pools of Porto Moniz are open all year round between 9:00am and 5:00pm during the winter months and 9:00am and 7:00pm during the summer time.

DOCA DO CAVACAS POOLS

While the other two pools are all the way in the North about an hour drive from Funchal, these pools are just outside of Funchal. The entrance fee is 2€. And for lunch you can eat at the restaurant just next to it.
