About 10 km west of Horta is Castelo Branco, a typical rural village that was badly damaged in the 1998 earthquake. The village has a church, a couple of impérios and a tiny fishing port. West of the village lies the Ponta de Castelo Branco, widely known only as Castelo, a prominent rock massif that projects far into the sea and got its name from the whitish colour of the rocks. This area has become a favourite bird-nesting place. There is a small natural swimming-pool.
