Miradouro do Arrife
Right by the main ring road on the southern side of Pico Island, between the villages of Lajes and Ribeiras, stop off at a small viewpoint in the hamlet of Arrife.
The 10 best places to stay on Pico
In our opinion, this is the most beautiful view on the south coast. You’ll see the monumental massif of the central mountain range, always shrouded in clouds, which gradually slopes down to a very peaceful-looking coastline dotted with fields and villages.
To your right, a sweeping view opens up onto the endless Atlantic Ocean, across which small boats glide, carrying groups of tourists eager to spot whales.
In fact, you’ll even find a whale motif paved into the pavement at the viewpoint.
