If you're in or around Funchal & need a dip, these pools are for you! Doca do Cavacas Natural Pools, also known as Gomes' Pools, is a popular spot in Madeira with natural pools and direct sea access. It's a small bathing complex with basic facilities like showers, restrooms, and changing rooms. Cost is around €5,50 per adult. While it may get crowded, you can always escape to the nearby Praia Formosa beach through a tunnel. The surrounding views of this cliff-enclosed area and the beauty of the natural pools make it a top visit for a relaxing day by the sea.
