How deep are the Porto Moniz natural pools?

Categories: General info0.6 min read

A quick overview of the topics covered in this article.

The natural pools in Porto Moniz have a pretty consistent depth that makes them family-friendly yet still great for swimming. Here’s a breakdown:

The main Porto Moniz Natural Pools (paid entry) are about 2 m deep, covering a swimming area of 3 800 m² – deep enough to swim comfortably but shallow enough to stand in most spots.

– Within this complex, there are shallower zones, including a children’s pool, and areas specifically designed for lounging .

Nearby, the Cachalote lava pools are more irregular: some sections are quite shallow, while others can be deeper and rugged, carved naturally with varying depths

These pools are thoughtfully designed—spacious enough to swim in, with lots of gently sloping spots for launching and lounging.
