12. Ponta do Escalvado Viewpoint

The Ponta do Escalvado Viewpoint is a lookout located on the west coast of São Miguel Island, precisely at Ponta do Escalvado. Its main attraction is the spectacular view it offers of the sea and the west coast of the island.

​

From the heights of Ponta, you can appreciate the extensive bay of Mosteiros, a small fishing village famous for its beach and the surrounding natural pools. From here, you'll also see the incredible Ponta da Ferraria, impressive vertical cliffs, and the intense blue color of the sea. What more could you ask for?

​

We highly recommend watching the sunset from this viewpoint; it's truly magical.
