Just grab your towel and head to the beach for a day of fun in the sun. However, take caution when navigating the stairs as they can be quite slippery. Additionally, keep an eye out for jellyfish to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Each year, I make it a point to visit this beach during the summer season. Although the conditions vary each time, this year's experience was mostly enjoyable. With the exception of one day where jellyfish were present, the water was generally cool and refreshing on the hot days. What's more, there's no need to purchase tickets to gain access to this lovely spot.

It's a great spot for swimming and diving, and the view is also quite stunning.

The water at this beach is the warmest on the island. However, it would be better if they removed the temporary showers. Since there are already good public showers at the entrance, having additional temporary ones by the water seems unnecessary.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Piscina Natural (Azores) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Piscina Natural (Azores) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Piscina Natural for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
