Places to Visit

 Baixo islet or Homiziados islet, existing along the Carapacho, in front of Ponta da Restinga, in the extreme southeast of the island. A haven for important communities of coastal plants, seabed, small bays, and small cliffs. And also
  a particularly important area for nesting seabirds, houses one of the largest concentrations of Roquinho (Oceanodroma castro) in the Azores.

Geological structure of high interest, possessing several types of unique volcanic formation. The second largest forest area of the island, with 120 ha corresponding to the area of the volcanic oval depression located in the southeast part of the island.

At a height of over 100 metres, visitors can see a wall of pillow lavas, proving that this part of the island was submerged thousands of years ago.

The Praia Islet, in front of the island’s only sandy beach, stands out from the blue sea given the green vegetation that covers its surface and has been classified as a Special Protection Area, as it lies along the route of the Monteiro's Storm Petrel, the only seabird endemic to the Azores

The brightness of the sunset enhances the surreal nature of the Ilhéu da Baleia (Whale Islet), a true symbol of the island of Graciosa and of the entire archipelago turned into a whale sanctuary.
