Praia Do Degredo

The beach is on the smaller side, but it's particularly appealing to older children because of its waterfalls. The path down to the beach is quite steep, so it's not recommended for those who have difficulty walking or for anyone with a stroller. Unfortunately, there is a bad smell near the entrance due to street waste water. There is no beach bar on site. Currently, during high water, access to the beach is not possible without climbing over fallen rocks. The concrete path along the rocks was destroyed by strong waves during the winter months.

Perfect for those who prefer a quieter atmosphere. At times in late June, we had the beach completely to ourselves.

The beach is small, but nice. The sea water at São Miguel is consistently warm.

It takes a bit longer to get to the sand compared to other beaches, but once you arrive, you'll find a beautiful spot with a waterfall that's perfect for a refreshing shower and for the kids to play.

We had the beach all to ourselves, it felt like our own private vertical beach. Don't forget to bring a bar of soap to take a shower under the waterfall.
