Coastal cliff trail above the small Fajã do Mar on São Miguel offers dramatic basalt cliffs, ocean vistas, sea-sculpted rock foregrounds and a tiny fishing settlement — ideal for moody Atlantic seascapes, golden-hour panoramas and intimate details of volcanic shorelines. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side-light and long shadows; late afternoon brings calmer seas for reflections. Weather is changeable; wear waterproof layers and sturdy shoes. Limited on‑street parking in the hamlet; no entry
