Farol da Ponta do Arnel

Highlight • Monument

The Farol da Ponta do Arnel is a lighthouse in the east of the Azores island of São Miguel. It stands in the municipality of Nordeste on a rocky outcrop of the Ponta do Arnel. The lighthouse is - with the exception of a small beacon on the pier of Ponta Delgada - the oldest lighthouse in the Azores.

Steep descent to Farol do Arnel and harbor

Highlight • Trail

The tarred and concrete road to the “Farol Ponta do Arnel” lighthouse and on to the small fishing port from Nordeste is unusually steep with a 35% incline. Driving on the street with tourist cars is not allowed. The road is also very narrow and - as can be seen from the pictures - concrete curves are lined up like a slalom course.
We left the car at the top of the main road and learned about the special features of this unique road and the steep coast at Cape “Ponta do Arnel” on foot.
