Thermal waters in the sea and natural hot water pools
The thermal water springs that contributed to the construction of spas and spaces for bathing in the sea transformed Ponta da Ferraria into a great option for those who like to relax and rest.
The heat of the rocks combined with the sea water make for a unique place and experience.
The natural hot water pools reach temperatures above 30 degrees and will certainly give you peace and tranquility.
However, you must take the tide conditions into account. The ideal time to visit this place is precisely when the tide is medium or slightly low, for a better experience and to enjoy water with pleasant temperatures.
High tide – sometimes – makes it impossible for the thermal waters in the sea to stay warm, while at very low tide the temperatures can be quite high, causing a feeling of discomfort and/or discomfort.
And if it's a rainy or cold day, don't worry, even with these weather conditions, the natural pools remain warm, not affecting your activity or outing.
