Safety Notes
Choose the circuit with the skipper based on wind and swell, keep close awareness of boat movement near Vila do Porto approaches, and treat the north-side cave as a calm-conditions feature rather than a must-do.
Access Restrictions
Boat access from Vila do Porto is the standard approach; the islet itself is not a shore-entry site and protected-area rules should be respected.
Legal Notes
The site sits within the protected Ilheu da Vila setting in Santa Maria. Follow local marine-protected-area rules and do not land on the islet without any required authorization.
