The Clube Naval de Lajes das Flores is located in the picturesque village of Lajes das Flores, precisely on Rua do Porto. This site is in an area with a direct connection to the sea, offering an authentic perspective of Azorean coastal life and the community's daily relationship with the Atlantic.
Its position in the village allows for easy perception of the port dynamics and the natural beauty that characterizes this part of Flores island, immersed in a tranquil and genuine environment.
Founded in 1998, the Clube Naval de Lajes das Flores has its headquarters located in a building with a remarkable past: the Old Whale Factory. This choice of location is not random, underlining the club's strong connection to the maritime and whaling history of Flores island.
The space preserves the memory of an important era for the local economy and culture, serving today as a meeting and revitalization point for the community connected to the sea, honoring a legacy of centuries of coexistence with the ocean.
The Naval Club represents an essential dynamic hub for sea and nature lovers in Flores. It is a space where contact with the ocean is promoted through various modalities related to nautical sports and knowledge of the marine environment.
Its presence highlights Lajes' maritime vocation, serving as a living testament to the passion for navigation, rowing in traditional whaling boats, and activities such as sailing and diving, which explore the richness of the Azorean seas.
