Natural Pools of Taipu de Fora: A Complete Guide for an Unforgettable Experience

Paradise exists, and it is hidden in the transparent waters of Taipu de Fora. Famous for their beauty and lush marine life, the natural pools are the main attraction of the Maraú Peninsula. To ensure you make the most of this wonder, we have prepared a complete guide.

What are natural pools?

Formed by a coral reef that emerges during low tide, the natural pools of Taipu de Fora are the habitat for colorful fish, starfish, and sea urchins. The crystal-clear water allows you to observe all this marine life with very little effort, as if you were in a giant aquarium.

The Tide Table: The Secret of Diving

To see the pools in all their glory, you need to go during low tide. The tide table is your best friend! Plan your visit for between 1 hour before and 1 hour after the low tide peak, when the coral reef is most exposed and the water is at its calmest.

Where are they located and how do I get there?

The natural pools are within walking distance from almost anywhere on Taipu de Fora beach. For those seeking maximum convenience, Nomad Beach House is the perfect choice: we are just 900 meters away from the main spot of the pools.

What to do at the pool?

• Snorkel: Bring your own gear (or rent it there) to get a close-up view of the schools of fish.

• Photos: The pools are the ideal setting for unforgettable photos. The crystal-clear water and blue sky create the perfect combination.

• Relaxation: Simply float and enjoy the tranquility of the place. It is the natural therapy you need.
