Ponta do Escalvado is a scenic viewpoint located on the western coast of São Miguel Island in the Azores, near the village of Ginetes. Positioned on a cliff edge, this viewpoint offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, the volcanic islets of Mosteiros, and the coastal landscape of Ponta da Ferraria, known for its natural hot springs. The name “Escalvado” likely relates to the rugged, barren appearance of the surrounding cliffs, shaped by volcanic activity over centuries.

The viewpoint is famous for its sunsets, making late afternoon or early evening the ideal time to visit. The sunlight casts warm hues over the ocean and the cliffs, enhancing the view. Additionally, the site features an old whaling lookout, adding historical significance to the location.

Close to Ponta do Escalvado, you can explore other attractions like the Mosteiros village with its natural swimming pools and the Ferraria hot springs, where the ocean is naturally heated by underwater volcanic activity. For those interested in geology and Azorean landscapes, this spot offers both scenic beauty and insights into the island’s volcanic heritage
