About

A group of natural pools in a cove sheltered by two tongues of solidified lava. When the sea is calm the water is crystal clear and good for snorkelling, and locals also come here to fish. You get here along a narrow lane through banana plantations, and apart from a car park there are no facilities.

Our tip

Bring water shoes, food and drinks – there's no bar or shop nearby.
