Part of a national marine park, Atalaia Beach invites travelers to explore its aquarium-like shallow natural pool, the largest one on the island. Nestled in a cove protected by a reef, the beach features a narrow strip of land covered with soft golden sand and round black stones, evidence of the island's volcanic history. Though snorkeling in the 40 cm (16 in) deep pool at low tide is ideal for beginners, experienced snorkelers may find it not stimulating enough.

  Trilha tranquila de 1,5km, água cristalina e quentinha, local raso, mas com muitos peixes de diversas espécies, inclusive tinha um filhote de tubarão nadando conosco. Tem tempo e quantidade de pessoas para ficar e entrar na piscina por vez, não pode usar protetor solar para não contaminar a água. Simplesmente Lindo! Vale mto a pena visitar.

  Quiet trail of 1, 5km, crystalline and warm water, shallow place, but with many fish of various species, even had a shark cub swimming with us. It has time and amount of people to stay and enter the pool at a time, can not use sunscreen to not contaminate the water. Just beautiful! It is worthwhile to visit.
