Praia dos Lobos is situated in the locality of Anjos, which is part of the municipality of Vila do Porto, on the island of Santa Maria, in the Azores. Its coastal position provides direct contact with the Atlantic, set in an environment that combines the serenity of the sea with the surrounding landscape. This spot is located in a more sheltered area of the island, offering a view over the sea horizon.
This beach is characterized by its stretch of sand that extends gently to the waterline. Its waters are generally calm, reflecting a peaceful seaside environment. The natural surroundings are marked by the presence of typical coastal vegetation from Santa Maria, contributing to a scene where nature reveals itself in a simple and authentic way. The coastal geological formations define the profile of this cove, giving it a unique identity.
Praia dos Lobos is a place that inspires a deep sense of peace and quiet. Away from the more crowded areas, its atmosphere is conducive to sea-gazing and moments of relaxation. The sound of the waves and the breeze blowing from the coast are elements that contribute to the calm atmosphere of this space, making it a corner where the serenity of the natural environment prevails.
The name "Praia dos Lobos" echoes the past and the natural particularities of the island. Frequently, the designation "lobos" (wolves) in coastal place names like this one refers to the historical presence of sea wolves, or monk seals, which once inhabited the Azorean coasts. Although these creatures are no longer common in the region, the beach's name may be a symbolic reminder of the marine fauna that once frequented these shores, or an allusion to rock formations that resemble these animals.
