Located in the parish of Santo Amaro, in the municipality of São Roque do Pico, Portinho is situated on the north coast of Pico Island, in the Azores. This small port is integrated into the urban fabric of the locality, offering direct contact with the sea and a view of the surrounding coastal landscape.
Portinho de Santo Amaro plays a fundamental role for the local community, serving as a center for fishing and recreational activities. Here, artisanal fishing boats find shelter, and it is possible to observe the daily dynamics connected to the sea, from the preparation of departures to the arrival of boats. This vibrant environment reflects the island's strong connection to its maritime traditions.
The atmosphere of Portinho is remarkably tranquil, inviting a moment of pause by the ocean. Its seaside location offers an unobstructed view and the opportunity to watch the waves break on the coast. It is a place where human presence blends with the force of nature, offering a space for contemplation and to feel the Atlantic breeze.
