This trail running experience on Ponta de São Lourenço eastern peninsula is certainly one of the best ways to start running in the island.
Ponta de São Lourenço trail offers you great views over the ocean always with scenic views to volcanic formations by the cliffs of this eastern peninsula, while you’re always surrounded by the blue ocean.
Along the way you can see some of the most common birds of this area like the Berthelot’s Pipit and the Common Canary and also some sea birds like the Common Tern and the Cory’s Shearwater.
Halfway you have the chance to have a drink/coffee or eat a snack in the bar of Casa do Sardinha (not included), after that and if the weather and sea conditions helps, it’s also nice to go to Cais do Sardinha and have a swim to refresh your body.
This track is 9km long with around 500m elevation gain/loss. The ground is mostly made of dirt and rocks, and uphills and downhills are mostly made of rocky steps.
