Message from Sergio

Caneiros Natural Pool, located on the western coast of São Miguel in the Azores, is a stunning natural saltwater lagoon surrounded by volcanic rocks and cliffs. Its crystal-clear turquoise waters create a breathtaking contrast against the dark lava stones, offering a serene and unique swimming experience. Thanks to its natural protection from waves, the pool is calm and ideal for families or anyone seeking relaxation in a peaceful setting. Unlike more crowded attractions, Caneiros remains relatively quiet, making it perfect for those looking to escape the usual tourist spots. For the best experience, bring water shoes as the rocky bottom can be slippery, and always check the weather and sea conditions beforehand. A visit to Caneiros Natural Pool is a chance to immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of São Miguel’s volcanic coastline.
