This swimming pool was formed over thousands of years, through the cooling of volcanic lava, and it has crystal clear water, with fish easily visible. The landscape surrounding the pools are unique due to a panoramic view that the swimmer has over the sea coast and the rocks.
The seawater lava pools are naturally filled by the ocean’s high tide, and you can still paddling in.
