The Miradouro do Pico do Castelo is situated near the summit of Pico do Castelo, at an elevation of 437 meters. This vantage point offers expansive views over Porto Santo Island, including the bay, the center of Vila Baleira, and several surrounding islets, such as Ilhéu da Cal and Ilhéu de Cima.

Visitors can reach the viewpoint by car, with parking available near the top, followed by a short walk to the summit. Alternatively, for those interested in hiking, the PR2 trail provides a scenic route to the peak.

At the summit, you’ll find the ruins of a 16th-century fortress, built to defend the island’s inhabitants from pirate invasions. Additionally, there’s a bust of Schiappa de Azevedo, who played a significant role in the reforestation of the area.

The Miradouro do Pico do Castelo is renowned for its panoramic views, making it a popular spot for both sunrise and sunset, offering photographers and nature enthusiasts stunning vistas of the island’s landscape.

For those seeking a blend of natural beauty and historical significance, this viewpoint is a must-visit destination on Porto Santo Island.
