Vila Franca islet is a nature reserve and one of the archipelago’s key tourist attractions. Located about one kilometre off the coastline, the islet came about following the collapse of a former volcano. The crystalline waters of the natural swimming pool with its own stunning beach is excellent for bathing and is equipped with all the facilities of a modern water-park. To the south of the Islet stand two volcanic rock peaks used for nesting by the many marine birds that visit the island. Getting there is easy with a regular summer ferry service between Vila Franca do Campo and the Islet.
