Good port with marine services. Can be a bit rolly on the docks depending on how far in you go. There is also an anchorage outside the marina, fairly well protected but exposed to any southerly, especially SE, and usually some swell. We only spent the day at anchor before getting a slip, but there were about a half dozen boats anchored when we arrived in early July.

Very nice and easy dealing with marine staff, left our boat here for 3 months on the hard. Good contact for marine work is NauticAzores (lojanautica@nauticazores.com) they coordinated with the marina for hauling and launching as well as doing a fresh coat of bottom paint while we were hauled out. They also have a pretty good selection of parts and supplies.
