36 Graciosa Island AZORES Oval in shape, the north and north-east areas are low and flat. Pico Timão, the highest point, rises to 398 metres. Santa Cruz, the main town on the island is peaceful and well preserved with many 18th and 19th century manor houses. The island’s only black sand beach is at Praia and at Carapacho, the volcanic rocks form a natural swimming pool. In Carapacho there’s a well know spa called Termas do Carapacho. The coastline has many bays and the small off-shore islands provide a sanctuary for the grebe and red-billed tern. The island has fresh fish and shellfish in abundance and is famous for its cakes and sweets. Flemish-style windmills with onion-shaped red domes and vineyards bordered by black basalt walls abound. There is a huge volcanic crater, Caldeira do Enxofre, with lush vegetation and a spectacular lake beneath vaulted rocks in the very heart of the volcano. This is a tranquil island, harder to reach and therefore untouched by time.
