Praia da Pedreira
São Miguel Island
Shared by Rui
"No bar. No lifeguard. No people. Just nature."
Rui's experience
This is one of the most untouched beaches on the island. No facilities, no lifeguard, no noise, no BS. If you’re looking for a wild, nature-first beach, this is it.
Getting there is part of the deal. You need to go down around 260 steps to reach the beach. Not hard, but enough to scare lazy people away. Which is great.
The water is amazing, clear, clean, and perfect for snorkeling. It’s the kind of beach that feels almost virgin, where you don’t do much besides swim, snorkel, and shut up.
Pros
