• Piscina do Porto dos Batéis

    February 3 in Portugal ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    The Piscina do Porto dos Bateis is a seawater pool near Feterias and was formerly an ideal place to enjoy the proximity to the sea and swim in seawater despite the rough waves.

    It was destroyed by severe storms in the winter of 2023/2024, particularly during violent storms in December 2023 and January 2024. Large parts of the pool structure were severely damaged by the sea and partially washed away.

    This led to the permanent closure of the pool, which had already been temporarily closed due to COVID-19 and technical problems.

    Restoration is considered unlikely due to the extensive structural damage and the extremely exposed location.

    I like the place, the sea is huge there and the sunset is tremendous.
