Forte do Boldró

The island's most popular sunset lookout, where an old fort site offers views over Morro Dois Irmãos and the bay.

An 18th-century Portuguese defensive site on high ground on the inner side of the island. From here you can look down over a string of beaches, including Boldró, Americanos and Cacimba, with Morro Dois Irmãos in the distance. Almost everyone on the island comes here to watch the sunset, and there are snack bars. Entry is free, but arrive half an hour before sunset to get a spot. The TAMAR sea turtle visitor center is nearby, so you can drop by on the way.
