Just a short walk or drive outside of Horta on the island of Faial, Porto Pim Bay is one of the first beaches many Azores tourists tend to visit. It's a beautiful beach with nice black sands and very calm waters.
All of that means that the conditions at this particular Azores beach are just right for families, as young children can splash or paddle around without any real danger. Lifeguards are on duty here to provide even more safety and there are some decent local amenities including several eateries, restrooms, and showers.
