Albarnaz Lighthouse
Farol do Albarnaz
A white lighthouse on the sea cliffs at the island's northwest corner, overlooking Maria Vaz Islet and distant Corvo Island.
The Albarnaz Lighthouse was built in the early 20th century on Albarnaz Point, at the northwest corner of Flores. Its white tower has a red top, and it is surrounded by pastures and sea cliffs. A viewpoint near the lighthouse looks out over the Maria Vaz Islet nature reserve and, to the north, Corvo Island, with wide-open scenery. The lighthouse interior is generally closed, but the grounds can be explored freely. It is about a 10-minute drive from Ponta Delgada.
