In its physical appearance, this locality is divided into two housing clusters, Ribeira and Fogo, each with its own particularities and specific interests for visitors: “Fogo”, where family subsistence farming is still practiced, exploring the vacant land of the site, in the surroundings of the parish church of São Paulo, built from 1911 to 1917 and where there is a small bay in which Praia do Fogo is located , one of the best in the Azores. “Ribeira”, as the name suggests, is located at the convergence of Ribeira dos Tambores with the sea, where the large fishing community lives from the sea, concentrating their homes around Porto. The fishing community is still mostly young, which gives us a dimension of what fishing continues to represent for this parish. This port is also an important landmark for the parish's tourism development, with regard to whale watching and sport fishing activities.
