Review & FAQ:
For a beach that's a little off the beaten track, check out the Islet of Vila Franca do Campo. This tiny islet can be found off the coast of São Miguel.
It's only a small beach but it has a lot of heart and charm, being located on the interior rim of an old volcano. Visiting this beach is like landing on your own private island and the local area is teeming with wildlife too, so it's a great place to look out for birds or grab a snorkel and swim about beneath the waves to see what you can find.
