Coasteering in Caloura, São Miguel — Cliff Jumps, Caves & Atlantic Snorkel

You step off a slab of black basalt and the Atlantic takes the rest — salt cold enough to snap awake the senses, the cliff face behind you still warm from the sun. Caloura’s southern coast opens in shelves of volcanic rock, sea pools, and narrow caves that invite short swims, climbs and optional jumps between 1 and 8 metres.
