    Hiking

    Definitely one of the highlights on Sao Miguel is the natural swimming pool at "Ponta Da Ferraria": At low tide, the water is comfortably heated by a thermal spring, natural waves come from the Atlantic - all in all, a top-class thermal wave pool. The pool is accessed via ladders, there are ropes in the pool to hold on to. Bathing shoes are recommended due to the rocky bottom (in the pool and on the way). Changing rooms and showers are available.
