La Fajana natural pools

The natural pools are deep, and in some areas, you won’t be able to touch the bottom. There are two smaller pools and a third, much larger one. This larger pool is more exposed to the ocean, and on days with strong waves and high tide, waves may enter the pool, so you should be cautious. Despite the rocky ground, it’s not necessary to wear water shoes.

There are rocky areas around the pools where you can lay your towel. The site offers several umbrellas scattered along this zone, though they are typically taken. Additionally, there's a shaded area built into the rock wall right next to the pools that provides more shade.

These pools are quite popular. Due to the easy access and their protection from the waves, on the weekends you'll find many families with children. There are restrooms, changing rooms, showers, and even a lookout point. In the upper area, there’s a small kiosk where you can grab a drink or a snack. You’ll also find a restaurant offering more elaborate dishes (here).
