Angra’s Bay is believed to be the western seas’ port of call since the 15th century. Angra was a compulsory stop for every ship that crossed the Atlantic. Today, Angra’s Marina rests enveloped by the city of Angra do Heroísmo, one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Site since 1983, due to its architecture. The Marina has excellent high-end complementary services, giving the city a fashionable touch of modernity.

Next to Angra’s Marina there is a beach, and, on the opposite side, you can explore the subaquatic archeological parks of the city. Being in them means diving into History: you will find a cemetery of anchors plus what is left of the wreckage of Lidador, a 19th century Portuguese ship. Angra’s Marina holds the European Blue Flag since 2006.

The Blue Flag Program
This year’s Blue Flag Program theme is Biodiversity in Aquatic Systems. A team of biologists of the University of the Azores will give two lectures on December, the 3rd, at 10:00 am on the Observatório do Ambiente dos Açores, about : “Effecs of the increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) in marine organisms” and “The existing biodiversity on the aquatic system of Angra Marina”, stressing the importance of monitoring it, thus constantly searching sustainable options for preserving Angra Marina’s ecosystem.
