Piscinas Naturais de Santo Antonio

Not too busy on a summer afternoon. Nice to have a spot to swim away from crowds. There is parking at the bottom so you don’t have to walk down and up the steep hill.

The pool is really small, the descent to the ,car park' is complicated. Bottom stones are slippery. And the pool itself is very shallow, difficult even to swim.

The water is very cold, but the views are great! The rocks are slippery so keep that in mind.

Lovely, local park. Some picnic pavillions with bbq grills and trash cans. There is cold water in a stone sink, bur the day we had a big party, the drains were clogged and the sinks were back up and not usable. There is a bathroom available down a steep ramp beside the small church, but bring your own tissues pr paper. The pool at the borrow of the hill is popular with local families for sunbathing and at low tide is very shallow for the kids, but a bit tricky for an adult to swim. Has some deep spots adequate for swimming at high tide, but can get crowded on sunny, weekend days. There is a cold. Rinsing shower partway up the hill, and a small building you can change in when it's unlocked. Has usually been available during summer season when we have been there. Because of the steep hill leading down, not all people will be comfortable driving, and the police will have you move if you park by the pools. Parking is in a dirt lot at the top of the park, before you pass the cemetery in front of the church. It's a bit of a hike on a steep hill down to the water, and then back ylup to leave, so this isn't a great pool for folks with mobility issues. Gorgeous views of the North coast if you can handle the hill and stairs. Do not park in the church spots. They are for the cemetery, and the one 15 minute drop off spot is frequently checked and time limit isenforced. Some people we know parked there despite the signs and received a very expensive parking ticket.

Nice place , nice views
