## Sights

Ponta da Salina is a headland close to the village. There is a small natural harbour and a bay with basalt rock formations, one of which looks like a natural arch. There are some natural swimming pools and a dark sand beach where swimming is possible if the sea is not too rough. There is a sightworthy old cemetery, which is surrounded by a wall, close to the beach. Most of the graves have very simple wooden crosses without any names.
