Charco Azul, Natural pool in San Andrés y Sauces, Spain.
Two spacious rock pools connected to the Atlantic Ocean feature clear waters and protection against strong waves through volcanic stone formations.
The natural pools of San Andrés y Sauces received international recognition in 2013 following extensive renovations to enhance visitor facilities.
The natural pools represent a traditional gathering place for local residents who maintain maritime customs through generations of families.
The facility provides changing rooms, showers, sun loungers, parking spaces, and a dedicated children's pool with safety railings and steps.
The pools border an ancient laurel forest, creating a rare combination of preserved prehistoric vegetation next to maritime recreational areas.
