Botinas Island

40 min

The two small stone islands are a scenario worthy of paradise. Almost twins, the Botinas Islands have calm, colorful seas and are a great spot to enjoy snorkeling. The bottom of white sand and the transparency of the water make the sea seem much shallower than it actually is, but it is around 10 m deep.

There are few places in the world that combine all these aspects. Ponta da Piedade is favored by nature and man, who built a beautiful little church on the rocks, which can be seen by all the boats that pass through the area.

At low tide, the Piedade church is revered by a narrow and small strip of sand, about 20 meters wide, which appears at its feet, dividing the waters forming two small beaches. The place well sheltered from the winds presents us with calm waters, suitable for swimming, diving and snorkeling, where even children can enjoy and play in peace. At high tide, the sand strip practically disappears, promoting the meeting of the waters, transforming the place practically into a natural pool.
