About

Found on São Miguel (Azores), Miradouro da Borda da Ladeira sits in Santo Antonio, Portugal, a viewpoint on the island's western side. Reaching it from Ponta Delgada or Ribeira Grande is straightforward by road, which makes it a natural stop for anyone touring the island.

With a rating of 4.6/5 from 94 reviews, the viewpoint draws a steady stream of visitors. Furnas, Lagoa and Vila Franca do Campo lie within the same touring loop, so the spot fits easily into a day of exploring the island. Setes Cidades and Nordeste sit further along the coast, giving drivers more reason to continue.

Travellers who reach the site can pair the stop with the wider stretch of coast around Santo Antonio, where the road continues towards Povoação. Photos from the spot capture the surrounding landscape, and the location in Santo Antonio places it within the western part of the island.

Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September.
