Piscina Natural do Cachadaço
A natural seawater pool enclosed by boulders, clear as glass and good for snorkeling, and the most popular spot in Trindade.
At the far end of Cachadaço Beach in Trindade, huge granite boulders enclose a bay to form a natural pool, with calm, clear water for swimming and snorkeling among the fish. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to reach from Praia do Meio via a rainforest trail, or you can take a small boat from Cachadaço Beach. The pool is most beautiful at low tide. At high tide or when the waves are big, surf hits the pool, so take care. In peak season it gets crowded at midday, so going in the morning is recommended.
