From this lookout, we enjoy magnificent views of Fajã dos Cubres, surrounded by the blue sea. Surrounding it, and contrasting with it, are the lush green hills.

With a curious name, derived from a plant with small yellow flowers, Fajã dos Cubres, also known as Fajã de Nossa Senhora de Lourdes, is one of the most beautiful and exotic fajãs on the island. The lagoon with the same name is a must-see. It's where fishermen collect shrimp for grouper fishing.

Accessible by car almost to its end, Fajã de São João, the largest fajã on the southern coast of the municipality of Calheta, is a must-see for anyone seeking tranquility in landscapes of rare beauty. It is also known as a summer resort for some of the island's wealthy families. Its steep location is sometimes synonymous with tragedy, and the fajã's population has suffered a number of setbacks, from pirate raids to natural disasters.

Of all the fajãs – fertile places due to the microclimate created by their rugged location – Fajã da Caldeira do Santo Cristo is probably the most famous. This is primarily due to the fact that it is the only place in the Azores where clams can be found. It also includes a lagoon and an underwater cave. Surfers also know it as one of the best places to practice the sport. Access is on foot or by motorcycle, via two nature trails.

With jagged cliffs, like most of the fajãs on São Jorge Island, the residents of Fajã dos Vimes have endured numerous misfortunes. The most serious of all occurred during the 1757 earthquake, which completely destroyed the fajã, which was later rebuilt. Tourists and nature lovers will be thrilled to see the fajã's traditional houses and experience this sometimes tragic harmony between man and nature.

O Parque de Campismo da Vila da Calheta situa-se em frente ao mar, onde é possível nadar em piscinas naturais. Dispõe ainda do Snack-bar Creperie, com uma aprazível esplanada onde pode beber e provar produtos frescos da ilha. É um excelente local para descansar, nadar e pescar.
