An islet east-south-east of Porto Santo, with a lighthouse installed in 1900. It is separated from the island by the channel known as Boqueirão de Cima (‘upper gap’).

Some fossil shells are found on it, and it is also known as Ilhéu dos Dragoeiros, although these trees (dragon trees) have disappeared completely not only from the islet but from the whole island of Porto Santo.
