Complexo Balnear do Caniçal

🏘️ Machico · Caniçal · Serrado da Igreja

On Caniçal's seafront, a complex opened in 2003 with a view over the vastness of the Atlantic: two seawater pools — a large one for adults, a small one for children — and two staircases leading straight into the sea. Changing rooms, loungers, parasols, a bar with terrace. Paid entry. Not an official bathing water in 2026: no lifeguard service is guaranteed; follow the notices on site and the flags.

  • Two seawater pools
  • Opened in 2003
