The Ilhéu de Cima, also called Ilhéu dos Dragoeiros or do Farol, is an islet east-south-east of Porto Santo marking the eastern extreme of the archipelago and the eastern limit of Porto Santo bay. A lighthouse was installed there in 1900 at 118 m above sea level, with a quay for its staff. A living Helix Lowei was found there, deep-water shells occur nearby, and it was recommended in 1903 for tuna traps.
