About this beach
Tufo Beach is by Ponta Garça in Vila Franca do Campo, on São Miguel’s south coast. The name refers to volcanic tuff in the cliffs; the shore is mainly pebbles and rock, with clear water on calm days.
It is a wild beach without built facilities or lifeguards. Suited to rocky-coast visits, not a classic family sand beach.
