8. Vista dos Barcos Viewpoint

The Vista dos Barcos Viewpoint is another beautiful viewpoint on the east coast of São Miguel Island, in the county of Nordeste. This viewpoint offers incredible views of the sea and the iconic Faro do Arnel, one of the most important spots for whale watching near the coast.

​

Situated between the well-known Vista dos Barcos Viewpoint and Ponta Arnel Viewpoint, these three viewpoints are located within close proximity, making it common to visit them on the same day. What they all have in common is the sea as their backdrop, although each offers a unique perspective of São Miguel Island and its natural wonders.
