Complexo Balnear do Porto da Cruz

On the Passeio Marítimo of Porto da Cruz, a modern leisure area facing the lively sea of the north-east and the mountains around it: two pools, a large one for adults and one for children, changing rooms, showers, toilets, a bar, loungers and parasols for hire, public parking. Those who want to brave the ocean go to the neighbouring Praia da Alagoa. Not an official bathing water in 2026: no lifeguard service is guaranteed; follow the notices on site and the flags.
