The beach - Badestelle Und Fischereihafen Von Ribeirnha (Baixa, Azores, Portugal) is a small coastal area near the parish of Ribeirinha, known for its volcanic landscapes and proximity to the 1998 earthquake remnants.

Located on Pico Island, it offers views of neighboring islands like São Jorge and serves as a starting point for coastal hikes. The area blends rugged natural beauty with a quiet fishing harbor ambiance, ideal for travelers seeking tranquility and geological history.

The beach itself at Poça da Ribeirinha provides a secluded spot for swimming, surrounded by basalt rock formations typical of the Azores' young volcanic terrain[1][4][5].

Nearby dining options include Tasca in São Roque, a highly rated spot (website) praised for its Azorean dishes and cozy atmosphere[2]. In Lajes do Pico, Restaurante Fonte Cuisine (website) offers traditional meals with ocean views, while Magma (website not listed) stands out for its vegetarian-friendly menu and volcanic-themed setting[7][8]. For modern cuisine, Restaurante Faia (website) in Calheta de Nesquim serves locally sourced seafood in a rustic-chic environment[16]. Aldeia da Fonte Hotel’s restaurant (website) combines convenience with hearty Azorean specialties[2][6].

Aldeia da Fonte Hotel (website) in Lajes do Pico offers relaxed accommodations with an outdoor pool and ocean vistas[2]. While not directly adjacent, Pedras do Mar Resort & SPA (website) on São Miguel Island provides luxury stays with an infinity pool and spa services, ideal for those willing to island-hop[1]. Atlântida Mar Hotel (website) on Terceira Island features modern rooms with kitchenettes, catering to extended stays[4].

The beach area has basic facilities due to its secluded nature. Visitors can expect small ports for boat access and minimal rental services.

Nearby villages may offer restrooms and picnic spots, though specific amenities like showers or equipment rentals are limited. The fishing harbor provides simple infrastructure for maritime activities[1][5].

Swimming and snorkeling in the natural pools of Poça da Ribeirinha are popular, with volcanic rock formations creating unique marine habitats.

Hiking trails like the coast-to-coast route start here, offering panoramic views of Pico Mountain and neighboring islands. Fishing excursions and whale-watching trips can also be arranged through local operators[1][3][5].

Uneven volcanic terrain and lack of formal pathways limit wheelchair accessibility at the beach.

Some nearby restaurants like Restaurante Fonte Cuisine offer wheelchair-friendly seating, but coastal trails remain challenging for mobility-impaired visitors[6][16].

Limited street parking is available near the harbor, typically free but with minimal marked spaces.

Larger lots may be found in nearby villages like Ribeirinha, though no formal paid parking facilities exist directly at the beach[1][5].

In 1932, the massive Dornier Wall hydroplane made an unexpected stop near Ribeirinha during a transatlantic journey.

The 1998 earthquake (magnitude 6.2) centered just 5 km offshore left the iconic lighthouse in ruins, now preserved as a cultural landmark[4][5].

The ruins of Ribeirinha Lighthouse, destroyed in the 1998 earthquake, stand as a stark reminder of the region’s seismic activity.

Pico’s UNESCO-listed vineyards and Parque Florestal da Prainha do Norte’s ancient lava flows (from 1562) are within driving distance, showcasing the island’s volcanic legacy[4][5].
