View of Ponta das Contendas Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ponta das Contendas marks the most extreme site southeast of Terceira Island and offers beautiful views of the Atlantic. Ponta is part of the São Sebastião Forts route, however, it can be accessed from the nearby car park.

Forte do Bom Jesus and View

Highlight • Historical Site

Although the fort itself is not an imposing construction - quite the opposite, as it is ruins - the site offers a stunning view of the sea and coast. Birdwatching is very common here.
