Ponta do Pargo (473m/1,552ft), near the western tip of the island (lighthouse), is a little country town in an area that has preserved many old traditions and customs. The beautiful old local costumes are still worn on highdays and holidays. From the village a footpath leads down to the Praia do Pesqueiro (fisherman's beach), enclosed by cliffs.
