🇵🇹 Restaurant with Nice Ocean View by Ingleses Beach, Foz

🇵🇹 Scenic Walk To Ponta da Ferraria, São Miguel Island
Our visit to Ponta da Ferraria, a unique lava delta known for its natural thermal pool located in Ginetes on the western coastline of São Miguel Island, was truly memorable. Due to the closure of road access to the parking area at Termas da Ferraria, the spa adjacent to the natural thermal pool, we opted to walk from Miradouro da Ilha Sabrina. This picturesque viewpoint offers stunning vistas of the coastline and the ocean. The 1 km walk through winding, steep slopes rewarded us with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline, making the journey as remarkable as the destination.

🇵🇹 Take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean
Ponta da Ferraria is a unique lava delta located in Ginetes on the western coastline of São Miguel Island. Here, an underwater geothermal spring heats the ocean, creating a natural thermal pool where the warm spring water mixes with the cool Atlantic waters in a small cove.
Access to the natural pool is free, but timing your visit is crucial for the best experience. The optimal time to visit is between two hours before and two hours after low tide when the water is warm. During high tide, the currents can be too strong, and the water may not be as warm. To help with the strong Atlantic waves, there are ropes available for you to hold onto. Swimming is recommended only during the summer months when a lifeguard is on duty.

🇵🇹 Strong waves near the islet of Vila Franca! 🌊🌊
We visited a small park near the islet of Vila Franca, located in Vila Franca do Campo, a charming town in the southern part of São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. The islet, less than 1 km from the park, is uninhabited and primarily composed of basalt. It serves as a popular spot for recreational activities such as cliff diving and snorkeling during the summer. The islet features an almost perfectly circular bay with a diameter of 150 meters and is one of the nature reserves in the Azores.
During our visit, the weather was cloudy and rainy. We were awed by the powerful waves of the Atlantic Ocean!

Walk along the Atlantic Coastline 🇵🇹 Foz do Douro
#citywalk
Foz do Douro is a district in Porto located at the mouth of the Douro River facing the Atlantic Ocean. We took tram no. 1 from the first stop at Infante (next to Church of Saint Francis) to the last stop at Passeio Alegre (next to Jardim do Passeio Alegre). From there we walked leisurely along the picturesque coastline until Avenida Brasil.
We passed by Farol de Felgueiras lighthouse and
Fortaleza de São João da Foz, a 16th-century fort, before reaching the beaches. The Atlantic coastline in Foz comprises of small sandy beaches nestled between granite outcrops. We enjoyed watching the huge Atlantic waves break onto the magnificent outcrops. The outcrops are ancient rocks about 300 million years old formed due to erosion of sea waves.
We had lunch at Restaurante Praia da Luz by Ingleses Beach while enjoying the ocean view.

#mytripvlog
In Portuguese, 'miradouro' means viewpoint. There are a lot of miradouros dotted across São Miguel Island. Miradouro de Santa Iria is definitely one of the best and most picturesque Miradouro that you should not miss if you are in the region. This clifftop viewpoint is located in Porto Formoso , municipality of Ribeira Grande, in front of the Santa Iria Bay on the north coast of the island.
It offers spectacular views of the jagged Atlantic coastline. It was raining and extremely windy when we made a stop there. We were blessed because the rain stopped briefly for us to take beautiful pictures of the cliffs before it started pouring again!! 🤣🤣

Casablanca
Casablanca Promenade is picturesque! Swim in the Atlantic Ocean! However, I don't know if it's because of the Muslim doctrine that many women go swimming tightly. It's completely different from France. It's really a little unaccustomed to it! 😝 You can see young handsome vendors everywhere and they are also very cute! Let's take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean 🌊 🏊

🇵🇹 Breathtaking Cliffs @ Ponta da Ferraria
The breathtaking cliffs at Ponta da Ferraria on São Miguel Island are a remarkable sight. These cliffs rise dramatically from the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean, their rugged, volcanic rock formations creating a stunning contrast against the deep blue sea. The sheer faces of the cliffs are etched with the marks of geological history, showcasing layers of basalt and tuff that tell a story millions of years in the making. At the base of these cliffs, natural geothermal pools invite visitors to experience the unique combination of ocean water heated by volcanic activity. The lush greenery that clings to the edges and crevices of the cliffs provides a striking complement to the dark volcanic rock, creating a vivid tapestry of natural beauty.

Sunny walk to La Torre de Hércules
Strolling along the sun-drenched seacoast of A Coruña on a glorious May afternoon, I was greeted by the serene beauty of the Galician landscape. My journey began with a leisurely walk past #Riazorbeach, where a couple locals were out for a swim braving the frigid #atlantic ocean. The sparkling blue waters glistened under the radiant sun, painting a picture-perfect scene that felt like a slice of paradise. As I continued, I passed the tranquil #orzan Beach, a haven for beachgoers basking in the warmth of the day. Ascending the gentle incline towards the iconic #torredehercules, the world’s oldest functioning lighthouse, the panoramic view expanded, revealing a breathtaking vista of the endless horizon. The historic tower stood majestically against the backdrop of the clear, blue sky. From this vantage point, the entire coastline unfolded before me, a mesmerizing blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage; a perfect culmination to a day of exploration. This walk along the beaches of A Coruña to the Torre de Hércules was an unforgettable experience, and favourite memory of my travels.
🇵🇹 Restaurant with Nice Ocean View in Foz
After a long walk along the Atlantic Coastline at Foz do Douro, we chanced upon Praia da Luz, a beautiful restaurant by Ingleses Beach overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The restaurant had both indoors and outdoors seating. The food was a little pricy but the view was worthwhile. We had a very good view of the ocean through its floor to ceiling windows while we were enjoying our lunch. This would be the perfect place to enjoy the sunset if you visit during dinner time.

The South-Western tip of Africa!
There’s just something so special about Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. It’s not just the stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean or even the unique plants and animals you can see in the park. Maybe it’s the fact that you’re at the South-Western most part of the continent, and the more you stare out across the ocean, you realize that there’s nothing else out there. Well, that is until you reach Antarctica. Truly one of the most beautiful places to visit in the Cape. You could even say it’s magical. #historicallandmarks #capetown #southafrica #Capepoint #Capeofgoodhope #nature #Ocean #atlantic

one upon a time
I hitchhiked #sailing boat

#capetown
#capetown is so far the most beautiful place ever visited. Geographically situated in the foothills of well curved 1km tall #tablemountain ⛰ which suddenly rose in front of your eyes and the #atlantic Ocean 🌊 with beautiful sand beaches 🏖 on the other side, you can see the beautiful picturesque of the city from different angles.
You can also get the vibrant night life, relaxing beach time to swim 🏊♂️ or surf 🏄 and hiking in different mountain trails.
A few hours stretch out of the city are Cape peninsula and Table Mountain National Park and fabulous wine land of #Stellenbosch where you may submerse your body and mind into the nature.
