Elephant Trunk Rock (Pedras Negras)

Highlight • Natural Monument

From the Miradouro das Pedras Negras you have wonderful views of the lava coast with the flowing white foamy sea of the Atlantic. The lava cliff with the tunnel in it is shaped like an elephant's trunk drinking water.

Whalers' Harbor View, São Pedro, São Miguel

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tiny harbor in the cliffs is now used only by recreational fishermen. The whalers used to leave the harbor as soon as sperm whales appeared on the horizon.
