What is the best tile to use on a concrete porch?

Question

My large screen room off the back of my house is concrete floored and needs to be tiled as painting it every season and touch ups in between get tiring and expensive and never ending.  It is attached to a pool so I need a tile that will definitely be a non-slip tile if wet.  Some advertise that it is non-slip but aren't always as advertised.  I have small grandchildren as well as older adults that would be at risk to fall.  Thankyou@!!!

Use a rough tile such as adobe or along that line....do not use anything slick and shiny if it sweats this type of tile could make you have a bad fall...

I used outdoor carpet on my mega painted back porch. It gets wet, snow, dirty just sweep. It has a rubber back comes by the yard, just cut and lay it down. Been there for 20+ years.

Check out recycled rubber tire floor tiles at Home Depot or Lowes. They have a variety of colors and they look nice.

I second the recycled rubber floor tiles....have them in my basement laundry. Just hose off if they get grungy. There is a version of a foam interlocking tile...they get a bit slick when wet. They make good play mats for kids. More Cush than the rubber ones

Look for tile sales(home Depot/Lowes/local tile outlet). Any tile will work. Use a good mortar. Larger tiles make the area look larger and more cohesive and they are much easier to lay. Look on YouTube for examples.
