Praias e costas na Ilha de São Miguel
Beautiful Beaches and Coasts
São Miguel’s coastline is defined by dramatic volcanic landscapes, featuring a mix of expansive dark sand beaches and secluded rocky coves. The north coast, particularly near Ribeira Grande, offers long stretches like Areal de Santa Barbara, known for hosting international surfing competitions. In contrast, the southern shores provide sheltered spots like Praia Água d’Alto. Unique geological features include the hydrothermal vents at Praia do Fogo that warm the seawater and the historic water mills lining the trail to Praia da Viola.
