The Cabras Islets are a group of volcanic islets off the coast of Angra do Heroísmo, designated as a nature reserve.

Boat tours circle the islets, offering close-up views of the volcanic rock formations and the chance to spot Cory's shearwaters and other species. The reserve's protected status ensures a pristine environment for both wildlife and visitors.
