Don’t forget to visit the Devil’s Eye and do not miss the opportunity to take a photo as the sea breaks through the rocks, creating explosions in the caves.
Enjoy the rhythm of S. Tomé and take the three main trails to discover the islet on foot:. The red route takes you to see the viewpoints, for a climb up to the Equator Mark where you can stand in both hemispheres at the same time, and finishes with a swim on Café Beach. The Green Route takes you to the other end of the island, Joana Beach, Ponta Cabra and the caves. The Blue Route takes you to the Lighthouse in the centre of the Islet.
