Porto Afonso is the old port of the little village of Vitória. It is located in a small bay protected by 100 metre-high precipitous cliffs. There is a curious obelisk-like rock protruding from the ocean. The steep road down to the port reveals views of the different shades of the earth, as the stratums of the cliffs have been laid open with the time. The volcanic rock has weathered so much in this area that it became very crumbly and the boat sheds have been carved out of the rocks. During the summer months this small bay is extremely popular with bathers and anglers.
