Praia Piscina

Piscina beach - natural beauty worth every effort

The Piscina beach seems to evoke a feeling of awe and admiration among visitors who often refer to it as a natural paradise with stunningly beautiful surroundings and a relaxed vibe. Its secluded nature, protected by cliffs and rocks, results in a calmer sea with less surf compared to other beaches in the area. Many appreciate the presence of natural "pools" where one can bathe safely without concerns, as they are fed by seawater, eliminating the risk of diseases such as bilharzia.

A highlight of the beach experience is the provision of local cuisine and opportunities for dining, with fresh fish often mentioned as an excellent choice. Travellers are advised not to forget to bring their own drinks and mosquito repellent to fully enjoy their time.

While the beach is a peaceful haven, it can get lively at times. There's a consensus on the beauty of the beach, with its clear waters, offering unique visual appeal and possibly the best sunsets on the island. The natural pools and waterfalls created by the rocks add to its charm and the experience is further enhanced by friendly locals selling fruits, such as fresh coconuts, and souvenirs, though they are described as non-intrusive.

Some visitors do note the challenging access that requires a 4x4 vehicle due to poor road conditions and a trek that may include over a kilometer of walking. However, this difficult access is also seen as a preserving factor, keeping the beach undisturbed and pristine.
