Westernmost point Viewpoint
About
Westernmost point Viewpoint in Flores (Azores) marks the far edge of the island, with the Atlantic stretching beyond it. The address is Ilha das Flores, Portugal, and the viewpoint draws visitors from Santa Cruz das Flores, Lajes das Flores, Fajã Grande, Fajãzinha and Caveira.
Its reputation rests on a 4.8 out of 5 average across 258 reviews, a strong record for an outdoor viewpoint on the island. The open horizon makes it a natural stop for anyone touring the western end of Flores. Whale-watching trips from several ports on the island seek out sperm whales, dolphins and Cory's shearwaters.
Portugal's islands have a mild oceanic climate, with green landscapes through the year and most rain falling in winter. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September. Hydrangeas line the lanes of several islands in summer, and tea and pineapple are grown on São Miguel.
A first-time visitor should arrive prepared for wind and changing Atlantic weather, and should allow time to simply stand and watch the water. The viewpoint pairs well with the villages along the western coast, and the drive itself passes through some of the island's greener country.
