What a magnificent place! 🤩 The views from Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo are absolutely breathtaking, especially with the stormy skies adding drama to the vast ocean. 🌊 I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, it's a truly memorable spot. ✨ Highly recommend! 👍

The lighthouse was closed due to hurricanes, but the place is stunning. The ocean, waves, and beautiful views are guaranteed in any season and weather.

Extremely interesting, fort itself told of its history, exhibitions very good, and waves, although only about 5-10m on the day were extremely exhilerating. Well worth €2 entry fee. Only draw back is the very steep walk back to the village, its no wonder so many people visit on a daily basis

Amazing belvedere from this fortress built in 1577 but has undergone remodeling and expansion on several occasions since then. The fort is a popular tourist site, particularly because of its proximity to a surfing area famous for the height of its waves. It now functions as both a lighthouse and a museum, which is devoted to surfing with the Sebastian Steudtner's world record board and other great surfers !

Our visit was off season so we missed seeing surfers tackle the immense waves. The video is riveting. Definitely worth the walk down the hill and the 2 Euro entrance fee. Transport up and down the hill is offered for a nominal charge. Phenomenal view.
