It is really worth visiting not only the Ponta dos Rosais Lighthouse but also that point of the island, even before reaching the Lighthouse there is one of the points where they used to stay looking at the sea waiting to observe the whales and sperm whales to warn the whaling vessels that waiting to hunt them.

The Lighthouse has its own history. It was inaugurated on May 1, 1958, but in 1964 it was temporarily abandoned by its inhabitants during the Rosais seismic crisis and the submarine eruption that then occurred in its vicinity. After the crisis, it remained inhabited until January 1, 1980, when it was definitively evacuated following the cliff collapses caused by the 1980 earthquake.
