Marina das Lajes
About
Meet Marina das Lajes, a local business in Flores (Azores), set on Ilha das Flores at Lajes das Flores, Portugal. The marina occupies the waterfront of Lajes, the island's main port village, and its 4 out of 5 average from 20 reviews reflects how visiting sailors and travellers regard the facilities.
Lajes das Flores sits on the island's southeastern coast, with Santa Cruz das Flores, Fajã Grande, Fajãzinha and Caveira all within reach along Flores's roads. Berths here serve boats crossing the Atlantic as well as local craft, and the harbour gives crews a sheltered point on the island's edge.
Five photographs accompany the listing, and the port authority's site at portosdosacores.pt carries further information. Summer counts as the driest and warmest season, and the sea stays warm enough for swimming from June to September.
Whale-watching trips from several ports bring sightings of sperm whales, dolphins and seabirds such as Cory's shearwater. Ferries connect islands within the same group, and Porto Santo is reached by ferry or short flight from Madeira, which shows how inter-island travel works in this part of the Atlantic. Pico holds the title of Portugal's highest mountain, and vineyards there grow inside walls of volcanic stone. Reaching Flores usually means a flight or a long ferry crossing from another island in the group.
