Beach

Message from Sergio

Zona Balnear Do Fajã Grande in Portugal is a hidden gem on the island of Flores, offering stunning ocean views and a perfect spot to soak up the sun and relax. This charming beach is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and exploring rock pools, all while enjoying the picturesque surroundings. The natural pools of Fajã Grande are among the island's most dazzling landscapes, featuring a succession of waterfalls cascading down green cliffs into the sea.

In the summer, you can enjoy a refreshing dip in these serene waters, and it's said that Fajã Grande is always a few degrees warmer with calmer seas. The area offers amenities like lifeguards, bathrooms, and nearby parking for convenience. As you relax with a dip or a cold drink in hand, you can marvel at the Poço do Bacalhau waterfall and the vast Atlantic Ocean. Being in the westernmost part of the European continent, Fajã Grande provides a breathtaking natural spectacle, with the islet of Monchique visible in the distance.
