Pond Swimming
Still waters and scenic surroundings make the ponds of Fogo Island better than any swimming pool.
Cool down from summer heat or take a cold plunge. Scattered across the island, these natural swimming holes vary in size and depth. You'll find them atop small peaks, nestled amid our inland forests, or breaking up a rocky landscape. Follow our Outdoor Adventure Guides to explore our wildest swimming spots.
Combine Pond Swimming with Hiking, Biking, or Trout Fishing.
