About Praia do Fogo
Praia do Fogo is a bathing area located on the site of Fogo in the parish of Ribeira Quente, in the municipality of Povoação. This beach located in the place of Fogo, on the south coast, is formed by an area next to a bay where there are several submarine hydrothermal springs. This fact makes tepid sea water, an unusual event that makes this beach quite crowded
