Miradouro da Lombada dos Marinheiros

A historic west-coast lookout, created in 1936 at Fajã da Ovelha and still much visited: the breadth of the view strikes at once, between the vivid colours of the Atlantic and the green valleys of the coast. You see part of the parish — created in the mid-16th century — and, in the distance, the Ponta do Pargo lighthouse, at 290 m on the island's westernmost point. Benches invite you to sit.
