About this beach
Praia da Fajã dos Cubres is on São Jorge island in the Azores, on one of the most famous fajãs in the archipelago — unique coastal platforms created by cliff landslides that form small, flat land extensions found almost nowhere else on Earth. The Cubres fajã is home to a brackish lagoon separated from the sea by a shingle bar, creating a unique ecosystem of fish and birds. São Jorge island is known for its dramatic fajãs, its DOP-certified cheeses and the cliffs rising more than 300 metres that run along the island from east to west. The beach has access via a dirt road, in a completely wild setting with a contemplative beauty unique to the Azores.
