Doca do Cavacas (Gomes Pools)

These small, natural volcanic pools can be found on the southwest coast of Funchal. They're the result of volcanic eruptions, which took place millions of years ago. The pools have direct access to the sea and benefit from lifeguard monitoring and changing rooms, as well as bars and restaurants nearby.
