About this site
Portinhos da Urzelina sits off the village of Urzelina on the south coast of São Jorge in the Azores archipelago, a stretch of Portuguese volcanic islands in the mid-Atlantic. The coastline here is shaped by lava flows reaching into the sea, typical of São Jorge's rugged south shore.
