Velas Natural Swimming Pools

Located on the lovely Velas village, these Natural Swimming Pools are one of the most famous summer destinations in the southern coast of the amazing São Jorge Island, Azores Archipelago, quite frequented during the warmer months.

These beautiful natural pools are formed among rocks that were originated by ancient volcanic eruptions, with the solidification of the lava, that created new rocky formations, sculpted by the marine and wind erosion.
Its dark colours contrasts deliciously with the profound blue of the Atlantic ocean, allowing wonderful leisure moments or simple contemplation of the nature power and overwhelm.

Endowed with good accesses, the Velas Natural Swimming Pools also offer complementary services to visitors, such as Toilets and Showers, Bar and Lifeguard services, among others.
