These viewpoints are small, mostly circular, whitewashed constructions with a small horizontal opening for whale watching. Whale hunting in the Azores was formerly a successful industry, also thanks to these lookouts, who - with the help of binoculars - observed the whales and navigated the whaling boats accordingly.

The lighthouse next to it is a complete disappointment. This vantage point is a bit of reconciliation. Unfortunately, some people go by car up to this point.
