Brimstone Head
A rocky peak beside Fogo Town, named one of the 'four corners of the Earth' by the Flat Earth Society, with views over the bay from the summit.
Brimstone Head is a rocky hill about 90 meters high beside Fogo Town. The Flat Earth Society of Canada once claimed it was one of the four corners of the Earth, and locals have turned that claim into a selling point. A boardwalk and steps lead to the top in about 15 minutes, with views of the Atlantic, icebergs, and the colorful fishing sheds of Fogo Harbour. Every August, a folk music festival is held at the foot of the hill. The summit section is windy, so bring a windbreaker.
