1 Best Sight in Terceira, The Azores

Piscinas Naturais da Silveira

Just west of Angra, you’ll find not a beach per se, but rather a former fishing port transformed into a popular swimming area with a large concrete pier jutting out into the ocean. Swimmers can access the water by stairs, by diving in, or by holding a metal handrail as they walk right in. Amenities: food and drink; lifeguards; parking (free); showers; toilets. Best for: swimming.
