Visit Islet of Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel Island, Azores
Islet of Vila Franca do Campo (Baxia das Cracas), named after the village just in front of the mainland, is almost circular in shape but broken by a sea entrance through one section of its perimeter and came about following the collapse of an old volcano. After being used for many purposes over the centuries – from a military fort area to a vineyard – this islet was classified as a nature reserve in 1983. The crater walls are home to much endemic vegetation. Inside, the crystalline waters of the natural swimming pool have an added beauty and feature their own stunning beach.
It's part of the UNESCO Azores Geopark
