Natural Swimming pool,-no chemicals, 28/May/2007
This is the only way to swim in the rough waters of the atlantic. This pool is cleaned naturally by the tide, therefore omitting any harmful chemicals. Very nicely constructed and free to the public- there are wonderful picnic sites as well nearby.

Norte ou Fajã
(Horta, Isle of Faial)
black sand, huge waves, Not for the timid beachbum., 28/May/2007
This beach is not for one seeking white sand,and calm waters. Instead, for the brave who might want to attempt surfing the waves or immersing oneself in the large rolling waves of the atlantic. The most rustic, and still under constuction part of the island. Very scenic with waterfalls and hiking trails nearby. A great place to hideout from the crowds.
