Lombo Gordo beach

Lombo Gordo is a wild beach down the mountain in the east of Sao Miguel island on the Azores. The artificial sandy coast sometimes migrates to the left or to the right, but most of time remains between the breakwaters. In the afternoon, there is a shadow ashore, so nobody here that time. Due to the poor transport accessibility, there are not many people anyway. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
