Naturals swimming pools of Seixal

Seixal Natural Pools are tranquil volcanic rock pools along Madeira's northern coast, offering a perfect spot for swimming surrounded by cliffs and ocean views. Accessible from Seixal village.

Located on the rugged north coast of Madeira, the Seixal Natural Pools (Poças das Lesmas) offer a unique swimming experience. These volcanic rock pools, formed by the island’s natural lava formations, are a peaceful oasis, providing spectacular views of the surrounding cliffs and Atlantic Ocean. The pools are easily reachable from Seixal village, with a short walk or a steep drive down. While there is no entrance fee, visitors should be mindful of weather conditions as high waves can lead to temporary closures. The pools are especially serene at sunrise when few visitors are around, making it an excellent spot for nature lovers and photographers alike.
