Piscinas Naturais da Doca do Cavacas Beach

For a place achievable easily from city center, I had a very pleasant stay there. Place is very clean, not overcrowded. Water is crystal clear, I had so much fun watching small crabs all over the place and swimming. Place could probably use better coffee in a bar, but beside this, it’s a very good place to spend some time.

This is a very nice place. You can rent a sun lounger and umbrella quite cheaply. The bar sells drinks that are cheap too. Beer or fresh squeezed orange juice etc. They even do a grilled toasted chicken sandwich. Nice place to catch the sun and listen to the waves.. The pools are fun to swim in. You can also jump into the sea on the west side of the installation where there is a ladder to climb back up. They have showers and toilets too.

Just enjoyed a day here in beautiful weather. Arrived around 11am and paid about 14 euros for two, for entry and sun loungers/umbrella, the latter needed as there was little shade otherwise. Beautiful small pools, quite easily accessible for oldies like us, and access to the sea as well which was great. All felt clean and safe, with toilet, shower and changing facilities together with bar and food availability. Good for all the family we’d say. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place and really good life guard who seems to be very passionate about his work. Even when the waves were big, we felt safe :)

Looks so inviting from the outside, but actually it felt quite small and packed getting in, only a few places around to sit down and not much shade if needed. The pool has a lovely view but the depth varies a lot and you can easily bump into rocks and scratch your legs/feet..still 5 stars for the views.
