The natural pools of Aguas Verdes at Betancuria and Caleta de Fuste

The natural pools of Aguas Verdes at Betancuria and Caleta de Fuste are the most magical natural places on the island of Fuerteventura.

What makes the island of Fuerteventura enchanting is that it is an island that often changes according to the tides, thus creating natural pools with crystal clear water.

The natural pools that are created in Fuerteventura are those exceptional places where the Atlantic Ocean relaxes a little.

These natural pools of Fuerteventura are formed when sea water enters the watertight spaces (during high tide), where it remains and forms the natural pools (during low tide).

Bathing would be dangerous at high tide, because the wave motion could push you onto the rocks and you could hurt yourself.

Instead, swimming inside them at low tide is like finding yourself in a little earthly paradise.
