🇵🇹 Authentic Atlantic Spa at Ponta da Ferraria

Ponta da Ferraria is a lava delta located in Ginetes on the west coastline of São Miguel Island. There is an underwater geothermal spring that heats up the ocean. The heated water mixes with the cold water of the sea in a small cove to form a small natural thermal pool. The entrance to the natural pool is free. The timing of visit is vital if you want to experience an authentic Atlantic Spa at Ferraria. The best time to visit is between two hours before and after the low tide when the water is warm. During high tide the current may be too strong and the water is not warm enough. There are ropes for you to hold on as the Atlantic waves are very strong. Swimming is only recommended during summer as there is a lifeguard on patrol. 📌 Termas da Ferraria (this is the spa next to the natural pool, lots of parking space here) 📍Rua Ilha Sabrina, Ginetes, 9555-102 Ginetes, Portugal #beachlife #roadtrip #vacation #portugal #azores #pontadelgada #SãoMiguel #island #ferraria #cliff #pool #spa #naturalpool #atlantic #thermalpool #tripblazers #sãomiguel
