Needing to occupy two children for more than an hour away from the beach, I admitted that this museum responded to that need.
It was perfect.
The museum has an indisputable quality, which has been recognized, granting it a noble space that values it and that the kids didn’t even notice, but the adults didn’t fail to appreciate it.
The collection is very rich and curious.

The Forte de São Brás is a 16th-century fortification that was originally built to protect the city from pirate attacks.

It has undergone several renovations over the years and was used as a military barracks until the mid-20th century. Today, it houses the Azores Military Museum.

The Marina offers berthing for over 300 boats, ranging from small sailing boats to large yachts and cruise ships.

It is a starting point for various sea excursions, such as dolphin and whale watching tours, fishing trips, and sailing adventures.

It is also home to several events and festivals throughout the year.
