Mosteiros-means monastery the name comes from the iconic islets shaped like a church.

Mosteiros is a charming fishing village located on the west coast of the island. This quiet and walking friendly village is characterized by its maritime atmosphere, its natural pools nestled on lava flows and cliffs, and the islets that emerge from the Atlantic Ocean right off of its coast line.

Mosteiros beach is a black sand beach and is considered one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. The predominance of black and blue colours contrasts significantly with the green colour that characterizes the rest of São Miguel, giving it a distinctive touch and making this place a must visit to observe all the landscape variations that the island offers. The beach is also known for watching spectacular sunsets with the sun setting into the sea between the famous rocks Monasteries. 

Whether you’re touring its volcanic coastline or enjoying the warm glow of the stunning orange and pink sunsets, Mosteiros assures a unique Azorean experience and memories you will want to revisit again and again.
