The scarcely populated western tip of the island, which is marked by the Ponta dos Rosais – a steep, about 200 m high, sharply pointed headland with the ruins of an old lighthouse – features the beautiful natural reserve of Parque das Sete Fontes. Some small high cliffs outside the western point Ponta dos Rosais is a resting area for shorebirds. Here is probably a good place for sea watching, with lots of breeding seabirds in the neighbourhood, and with birds moving to and from northern rough seas and more sheltered waters inside the central Azores archipelago. You can find a few lookouts near the lighthouse.
