"Formed by volcanic rocks, the natural saltwater pools are one of the most attractive and emblematic points on the north coast of the island of Madeira. At the entrance to the town of Porto Moniz, the Aquarium/Cachalote Natural Pools are located, one of the main points of interest in the municipality.
This freely accessible bathing area stands out for its picturesque profile, which offers bathers (and visitors) an untouched setting. Its natural morphology guarantees the entry of clear and crystalline water from the Atlantic Ocean. It is, therefore, an excellent place to go swimming.
Even though the Aquarium/Cachalote Natural Pools do not have support infrastructure or sanitary facilities, bathers can make use of the outdoor shower. Furthermore, this bathing area is monitored throughout the bathing season."
