Ponta da Ferraria, located on the western coast of São Miguel Island in the Azores, is renowned for its unique natural thermal pools where geothermal activity heats ocean water, creating a distinctive bathing experience. Unlike other natural pools on the island, such as those in Mosteiros or Caneiros, which are primarily formed by volcanic rock formations, Ponta da Ferraria offers the rare combination of hot springs mixing directly with the Atlantic Ocean. This results in varying water temperatures influenced by tidal movements; during low tide, the water is warmer due to a higher concentration of thermal spring water, while high tide brings in cooler ocean water, moderating the temperature. This dynamic interplay between geothermal heat and ocean tides provides visitors with a unique and refreshing bathing experience, distinguishing Ponta da Ferraria from other natural pools on São Miguel Island.
