Porto Moniz Volcanic Pools
Madeira, Portugal

Porto Moniz Volcanic Pools

Type: beach

Natural pools formed in volcanic lava rocks on the northwestern tip of Madeira. Seawater naturally flows into the pools with each tide, creating one of the most unusual swimming spots on the island. Porto Moniz is known for its black volcanic rocks and the wild Atlantic coastline that surrounds it.
