Ponta da Ilha
The easternmost headland of Pico Island is graced by the beautiful “Farol do Ponta da Ilha” lighthouse and a coastal walking trail that winds through lava fields resembling a lunar landscape.
The 10 best places to stay on Pico
Turn off the main road towards the village of Manhenha, drive through to the end of the village and park your car at the side of the tarmac track.
About 100 metres before the lighthouse, a signposted path branches off the road across a jagged lava field, which then turns into a comfortable, well-maintained path along the coast, leading all the way to the village of Ribeirinha, 8 km away.
