Miradouro da Ponta do Arnel

The location offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, rugged coastline, and cliffs.

Home to the Ponta do Arnel Lighthouse, the oldest in the Azores, an iconic and photogenic structure.

Despite the challenging descent and ascent, the spectacular views and unique atmosphere are considered well worth the effort.

The area is described as silent and magical, especially at sunrise or sunset, offering a chance to soak in authentic ambiance.

Visiting the viewpoint and walking down to the lighthouse area is free, though entry to the lighthouse itself is not possible.
