“This is a solid spot to hop in the water, if you’re headed to Berlengas you might as well come here as well, it’s right next to the Forte de São João Baptista. The water is clear and cold and you have the beautiful backdrop of the fort and cliffside of Berlengas.”

“I went snorkeling and did some casual freediving up to 6 meters near Fort São João Baptista, and it was amazing! The water is super clear with great visibility, making it perfect for snorkeling. I saw everything from sea cucumbers to schools of local fish. There are deeper areas for those who want to go further, but even at shallow depths, the marine life and beauty of the place really stand out.”
