The outrigger cleaves a bright line across a calm bay as the island's basalt cliffs rise behind you. Salt-scented wind pushes the hull forward and the sea seems to invite you closer to the reef where turquoise deepens into cobalt. On approach Praia da Conceição spreads out: broad sand, shallow rockpools, and the squat silhouette of Morro do Pico watching from the skyline.
