Doca do Cavacas, Natural pool in São Martinho, Portugal
The natural pools at Doca do Cavacas consist of volcanic rock formations filled with Atlantic Ocean water along the Funchal coastline.
The geological formations at Doca do Cavacas emerged through centuries of volcanic activity that shaped the island of Madeira's distinctive coastline.
Local residents gather at Doca do Cavacas throughout the year to swim, socialize, and share traditional Madeiran meals at the nearby restaurants.
The facility provides changing rooms, showers, sunbeds, and a restaurant, with entry fees of 6 euros covering access to all amenities.
Swimmers can observe marine life through the clear waters while floating in pools naturally carved into black volcanic rocks.
