Best Things to Do in Caloura | Tours & Activities Portugal

Caloura is a hidden gem on the southern coast of São Miguel Island in the Azores archipelago.

With its charming harbor, natural swimming pools, and lush surroundings, Caloura is ideal for travelers seeking relaxation and authentic local experiences.

A glimpse into the past

Once a small fishing community, Caloura has preserved much of its heritage and traditional character over the years. Narrow cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and the historic Convent of Caloura remind visitors of its rich history that is deeply connected to the sea and Azorean culture.

When is the best time to visit?

Caloura enjoys a mild, oceanic climate year-round, making it a great destination in any season. However, the months from May to October offer warmer temperatures and calmer seas, perfect for swimming, hiking, and outdoor activities. If you prefer fewer crowds and even more tranquility, consider visiting in spring or autumn.

Is swimming safe in Caloura?

Yes, the natural swimming pools formed by volcanic rocks are safe and popular among both locals and visitors. Always check the sea conditions before swimming, as the Atlantic can be unpredictable.
