São Mateus Anchorage

São Mateus sits on the southwest coast of Graciosa, one of the quietest and least-visited islands in the Azores, giving this anchorage a genuinely off-the-beaten-track feel. You'll drop anchor off a small, traditional fishing village where whitewashed buildings and volcanic stone set the scene. The island itself is flat and easy to explore, with the famous Furna do Enxofre lava cave and the caldera just a short ride inland — well worth getting ashore for.
