Geography

Jardim do Mar is a sliver of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the cliffs of the neighbouring parish of Prazeres, accessed by a single roadway and tunnel system to Prazeres and Estreito da Calheta.

The waves here can be very large in the winter months and during these time of the year surfing is practiced by experienced surfers.
