Corvo (Port) - General Info
Description:
Corvo Island (meaning the Island of the Crow), is the smallest and the northernmost island of the Azores archipelago and is the smallest single municipality in Azores and in Portugal. It lies some 10 miles north of Faial.
The village of Vila do Corvo is located in the south of the Island, and the only anchorage is here.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
It is possible to anchor on the southern end of the island in the shelter of the harbour wall, or if no boats are expected to tie alongside. There is invariably swell in the harbour and although holding is reasonably secure it is a best a fair-weather anchorage.
Cruiser Highlights:
A visit to the bowl-shaped caldeira in the island’s volcano is a must, either on foot or by taxi, and Vila do Corvo, the island’s only village (and the smallest village in the Azores) has a variety of shops, cafés and restaurants.
Position:
39° 40.35’N, 31° 06.58’W (anchorage)
