Small volcanic beach with dark sand, basalt outcrops and rugged cliffs on São Miguel’s eastern coast. Strong compositional lines from rock formations meet Atlantic waves — ideal for dramatic seascapes at sunrise and after storms. Easy roadside access from M527, limited informal parking; uneven paths require sturdy shoes. No entry fee; typically low crowds. Weather is changeable — check swell and tide for rock-pool exposures.
