The Tidal Pools of Leça da Palmeira is a public swimming pool on the beach of Leça da Palmeira in Matosinhos municipality, in the district of Porto, Portugal. The structures consist of two natural pools filled with fresh sea water, designed and built between 1960 and 1973 by Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira. It is one of Siza Vieira's early projects and it is his second design in Leça da Palmeira following his work in the Boa Nova tea room, located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the north of the pools.
