• Vila Franca Islet

Ilheu de Vila Franca do Campo is a small 300 meters long rocky islet, off the island’s south coast, shaped like a crescent with a circular seawater inlet. The islet is a nature reserve1 km off the town of Vila do Campo shores, 24 km east of Ponta Delgada. The islet is accessible by boats leaving from the town’s Tagarete Pier during June through to September.
Enjoy the magnificent islet, spend time in the inlet beach, swim in turquoise seawater, snorkel around the islet, and watch the sea birds nesting on it.
Note that the number of visitors allowed on the islet is limited.
