Easily accessible and cheap to travel to from Porto location that is well worth visiting. Better to visit in the morning (we arrived at around 11 and there was no queue and the pool and cafe were not busy. Leaving at around 4, the queues were very long and the pool had rapidly filled up).

All staff encountered were friendly, helpful, and most spoke English. Otacilio Reis went above and beyond and looked after us and others in the Café and afterwards, helping us feel at ease; he had an amazing character and was a joy to talk to. Very much made our day.

Travelling as a couple, the facility provides no lockers and so there is nowhere to place your valuables, therefore you cannot swim together, which is saddening. At the moment, you cannot buy tickets online without a Portuguese bankcard, but if you do have one it is better to buy online as you can avoid the queues on entry.

The pools, although cold, were unbelievably beautiful and did not feel as if they were crammed full of only tourists. We had a very nice day and most definitely...

Je vais mettre 2 étoiles pour pas dire que c’était complètement pourri, mais dans l’ensemble, je déconseille fortement cet endroit… la plage juste à côté offre la même chose.

Point positif : • Bien sécurisé, pour les enfants notamment. Avec des maîtres nageurs qui surveillent constamment.

Points négatifs : • 1h30 de queue pour entrer, pour ensuite se taper un accueil déplorable, tu payes et tu te casses. Et si t’as le malheur de poser une question, comme par exemple « comment ça se passe pour les parasols ? Pour les transats ? Bref… et bien débrouille toi, ou alors devine. • Parasols de très mauvaise qualité, pas du tout solides = n’en prenez pas si vous ne voulez pas avoir à payer la caution • Transats = 20€ la location, venez à 8h30 pile si vous voulez une chance d’en avoir un • Il y a vraiment PEU de place, tout le monde est collé et si tu arrives vers 10h, tu es bon pour bronzer sur les rochers :) • La température de la piscine est SIMILAIRE à celle de la mer, en fait, c’est vraiment la même = vous payez presque 10€ par personne l’entrée pour vous baigner dans une piscine aussi froide que la mer = que vous ne craignez ou pas la fraîcheur de l’eau, allez dans la mer c’est PAREIL. • Piscine très sale, aucun lavage avant d’y entrer = pleine de sables et de saletés en tout genre, donc encore une fois - la mer vous offrira le même service • Toilettes DÉPLORABLES, une piscine de pisse ?? Non sérieusement, ils sont affreusement sales, et je trouve ça vraiment grave pour un « établissement » qui fait payer presque 10€ l’entrée. C’est 3 planches de bois avec des urinoirs qui relâchent limite l’eau dans la mer (on peut apercevoir ce qui sert de tout-à-l’égout couler des canalisations jusqu’à la mer) • Dernier point, c’est une question de détail, mais qui prend tout son sens lorsque l’on paye une entrée 10 balles = Infrastructure très bas de gamme, la piscine c’est une énorme cuve coulée en béton, il y a même pas un peu de peinture, j’ai l’impression de me baigner dans une bétonnière.

Voilà, je sais que l’avis paraît très négatif, j’ai moi-même regardé les avis avant de venir, mais je voulais me faire mon propre opinion. Et bien je déconseille.

Vraiment, si vous êtes un petit groupe, vous en aurez vite pour 50€ l’entrée, et surtout : Vous n’aurez sûrement pas de places à côté… Nous étions 2 et pourtant nous avons galéré….

Bref, la mer à côté, pas top, mais du même niveau que cette piscine.

Ou sinon, évitez juste la mer à...

Achitecture is wonderful. Place wonderful. Organization very bad. We waited outside for 1.20 hour with lots of other people because the security said it was sold out. But: if you had the possibility to buy tickets online, on the spot in the same moment, you could go in. So: is it sold out or not? If yes, then also with online tickets bought then and there one shouldnt be admitted. When you have 50 people waiting outside for hours then maybe you should check them in before accepting last minute tickets (or stop temporarily online). I found it very unfair. At last, weary, we went speaking with the staff, told them we couldn't buy online tickets and explained the situation, they where friendly and let us in paying cash. Anyhow, admission should be re-organized...

Salt water pools with a picturesque view of the ocean. There is beach space for sunning and lounging but the sand is very coarse in the pool area. Wristbands are required for entry and there is a restaurant and bar inside. The pools ranges from 1.6m-3.8m deep. Children will not be able to touch the bottom, but there is a dedicated shallow pool located adjacent to the large one. Public beach access is available on both sides with fine soft sand. There are freshwater rinsing stations. The water is quite cold in the pool as it fills from the ocean and is only heated by the sun, and it can be quite windy here.

An excellent add on to a visit to Porto. We went early and didn’t realize that this was a good idea as later there was limited entry. €6 for a half day visit was perfect. We had a drink at the bar and sat on the rocks. The pool was 19degC refreshing. Water clean. Sea alongside much colder. The swimming complex is fabulous. Designed in 1960s and still a stunner today. The Camino walkers use this coastal route so you can do a piece yourself before your swim as we did. Showers available to get rid of salt. The beaches around here are also fantastic.

Stunning place for swimming fans. The water itself is pouring from the ocean, hence it quite salty, but warm, it was +22°C today yayy! I would recommend to go early in the morning to avoid crowds. The pool's depth is between 1,5 and 4,5 metres. Entrance fee starts with 5€ per person on a week day, bear that in mind. Unfortunately showers were available only inside next to the toilets. Outside showers need to be fixed, especially now during summer season! Some cloakrooms lockers were broken.
