This islet is the drowned rim of a small volcano, its circular lagoon connected to the sea through a narrow channel — a geometry so neat it looks engineered. Snorkelers work the calm crater while divers circle the outer walls, where black volcanic rock carries anemones and schools of ornate wrasse, salema and white seabream. Rays settle on sand patches and octopus den in the boulder gaps. It is an easy, scenic counterpoint to the Azores' offshore adrenaline, and a protected area since the 1980s.
