About this list
These 42 points come from a curated highlights map of Flores. Most are reachable by car with a short walk; a handful (the sea caves, the islets, Fajã de Lopo Vaz) require a boat trip or a proper hike — each card says what's confirmed about access. Several of the lesser-known viewpoints have very little published information; rather than invent details, those cards say plainly what could not be confirmed.
