In some natural pools swimming can be more or less difficult depending on the tides. The Point Loma tide pools are considered a national monument that are exposed at low tide below sandstone cliffs teeming with rich sea life. ![]() Many natural pools have rocky floors, so it’s a good idea to wear water shoes or other footwear you can get wet, so you can walk more comfortably. Although most of these natural pools are protected from the waves of the open sea, don’t forget that they are connected to it, and you should be careful if the sea is at all rough. There are several swimming areas, including two large pools, one for children, and a beach of yellow sand protected from the sea. The natural pools of Bajamar are about 15 kilometres from the historic centre of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage site, so these visits can easily be combined. Charco del Viento has different swimming areas, some with sand, others with rocky arches, but all with crystal-clear water. ![]() But here too, there are great views - of Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. The second is also easy to reach from the road to Icod de los Vinos. Why? The views from the lookout point, and all the photos you’ll want to take. As temperatures soar across Tayside and Fife this week, swimming outdoors can provide some. The first one is in San Juan de la Rambla, and although it’s very easy to reach, you’ll probably take your time getting to the water. The tidal pool in Pittenweem is just one of the many places for an outdoor swim in Tayside and Fife. These are Charco de La Laja and Charco del Viento, two volcanic formations making natural pools. ![]() The best-known are in the northern part of Tenerife, and two are very close to each other.
