Bring non-slip footwear suitable for wet surfaces to navigate between pools safely.
Apply high-SPF sunscreen frequently as the coastal breeze can mask the strength of the sun during peak summer hours.
Arrive early in the day to secure sun loungers, as the shaded areas are in high demand during weekends.
Do not visit during the off-season as the park is completely non-operational, and do not underestimate the cooling effect of the Peniche sea breeze, which often leads to overlooked sun exposure.
Open only during the summer season; closed during autumn, winter, and spring months.
Appropriate swimwear is strictly required in all pool areas; outdoor street shoes must be removed or covered before entering the water zones.
