- Time any entry to slack tide — crossing the channel on a running current is dangerous.
- sığınak
- Islet ~200 m off the SW shore by Vila do Porto marina; partly sheltered from N wind, open to SW swell and channel current.
- tehlike
- Real danger: heavy boat traffic from Vila do Porto marina/commercial port and current in the 200 m channel. Part of the natural park (no-take) — hunting banned. The islet is normally reached by boat, not by swimming.
- erişim
- From the Vila do Porto marina/waterfront; rocky shore, ~200 m of open water to the islet — reached by boat from the dive centres.
The town's home reef, but it's a boat dive in a no-take zone next to the port — solo from shore, only scout it from land, don't swim the channel.
