        The natural pools of Porto Moniz are one of the most beautiful places to swim in the sea. After a 6,000-year-old eruption, volcanic lava was formed, which today only contains clear sea water. Huge Atlantic waves constantly pound the black basalt lava, creating a truly unique swimming pool experience.
