Location

Povoação Beach is located in the municipality of Povoação, on the island of São Miguel, in the Azores. This bathing area is situated in the Pelames area, directly integrated into the urban fabric of the town of Povoação. The beach stretches along a portion of the village, forming a coastal strip that follows the development of the settlement until it merges with the natural landscape.

Environment and Landscape

Characterized by its brown-toned sand, Povoação Beach stands out due to its unique location. It is flanked by an imposing cliff, which provides a singular and high-impact visual setting. The combination of the sand, the cliff, and its proximity to the built-up area creates a coastal landscape with its own identity, where the natural environment meets the urban context.
