Bay of Needles – Only accessible via boat, and also seen from the boat this is a vision of prehistoric beauty with its phonolite towers penetrating the skyline – a truly eerie and impressive sight.

Go and have a beach day! It is widely recognised that Praia Boi, Banana and Margarida are the best beaches on the island and offer a fabulous slice of rest bite in between busy days exploring the island.

Head to Praia Grande to goggle at the famous sea turtles and learn all about their preservation & protection.
