About this beach
Poça de Simão Dias, next to the town of Velas on São Jorge Island, is a natural pool tucked between walls of volcanic rock at the foot of a small waterfall, with the iconic Morro das Velas formation nearby. Wild and reached on foot along a trail, it rewards visitors with crystal-clear waters for snorkelling in a truly natural setting.
