Santa Maria Island

To visit the island of Santa Maria, the southernmost and easternmost island of the Azores, is to discover one of the archipelago's best-kept secrets. Distinct from all the other islands, this one shows no signs of active volcanism and has a warmer, drier climate, less greenery but enjoying more hours of sunshine and white sandy beaches and turquoise waters, a place where all the inhabitants know and greet each other in the street and where traditional culture still dictates the rules. From the 360º view from Pico Alto, through the Red Desert of Barreiro da Faneca, the landscape of Poço da Pedreira, the viewpoint of Ponta do Farol, to the white sandy beaches and the Bay of S. Lourenço, these are unmissable sights that will remain in the memory of all visitors!
