Tenerife, known for its mild climate and volcanic landscapes, is the perfect place to enjoy a swim in nature, as the natural pools of Tenerife are one of the most amazing wonders of the island, formed by the volcanic rocks and the crystal clear water of the Atlantic Ocean.
These places offer the opportunity to enjoy the sea without the strong currents of the beaches, surrounded by a natural and peaceful environment.
Natural swimming pool of Puerto Santiago
One of the most popular natural pools in Tenerife is located in Puerto Santiago, a picturesque coastal village in the southwest of the island, characterised by its turquoise waters and surrounding volcanic landscape, perfect for a quiet swim, as the volcanic rocks protect the area from the sea waves, creating a kind of natural lagoon.
It is an ideal place for both experienced swimmers and families looking for a safe environment in which to enjoy the sea, with views of the nearby cliffs and mountains making the place even more impressive.
Charco de la Virgen en Arico
