Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo - Amazing Islet with beach inside - São Miguel - Azores - 4K Ultra HD
The islet of Vila Franca do Campo is a small paradise.
Situated opposite the town of Vila Franca do Campo, about 1km from the coast, the islet is a result of the crater of an ancient submerged volcano, and is one of São Miguel’s main tourist attractions, particularly since an event in the Red Bull Cliff Diving world championship was held here.
Classified as a Nature Reserve, the walls of its crater are lined by endemic vegetation, while inside there is an almost perfectly circular natural lake, which is linked to the sea by a narrow channel. This opening is called Boquete and faces north, i.e. towards the coast of São Miguel, which prevents the entry of waves from the sea. Its crystal clear waters and the small but lovely beach, are excellent for swimming and diving.
O Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo é um pequeno paraíso, situado em frente à povoação de Vila Franca do Campo, a cerca de 1 km da costa, este local é o resultado da cratera de um antigo vulcão submerso e é uma das principais atracções turísticas da ilha de São Miguel, especialmente desde que aqui se realizou uma das etapas do Red Bull Cliff Diving – o campeonato mundial de mergulho em penhascos.
Classificado como Reserva Natural, tem as paredes da sua cratera revestidas por uma vegetação endémica, enquanto no seu interior existe uma piscina natural com uma forma quase perfeitamente circular, que comunica com o mar por uma estreita passagem. Esta abertura é designada por Boquete e está voltada a Norte, isto é na direcção da costa da ilha, o que impede a entrada da agitação marítima para o interior. As suas águas cristalinas e a pequena, mas encantadora praia, são excelentes para a prática de natação e mergulho.

AZORES: Vila Franca do Campo town - São Miguel Island
Vila Franca do Campois a town and municipality in the southern part of São Miguel Island in the Portuguese Azores.
The greatest tragedy to befall the Azores occurred on 20 October 1522, when a violent earthquake hit the area of Vila Franca do Campo, then capital of the archipelago and most important Azorean settlement. During the earthquake and subsequent landslide, 5000 people were killed. Because of its destruction, the capital of São Miguel was transferred to Ponta Delgada.

VILA FRANCA DO CAMPO PORTUGAL
VILA FRANCA DO CAMPO PORTUGAL
Located in the middle of the Atlantic, 1,369 km west of mainland Europe, the Azores archipelago consists of nine islands spread over three groups.
The volcanoes that gave birth to these islands also created small islands or islets, located just off the main coast.
Perhaps the most famous of these small formations is Islet Vila Franca do Campo, located about 500 meters from the coast of São Miguel Island, the largest and most populous island on the Azores archipelago.
The Islet is named after the town of Vila Franca do Campo, the former capital of São Miguel, located opposite the islet.

Ilheu islet of Vila Franca do Campo Sao Miguel Azores Portugal
A sunny day to visit Islet of Vila Franca do Campo in the Azores Portugal. Boat ride to visit the Islet but the water was freezing! Nice walk exploring and seeing the ocean waves crashing on the rocks. Definitely something to do when it warmer.
