Beach near Corvo Island, Portugal

Corvo Island Travel Guide

Portugal

Corvo Island is a very small Portuguese island community in the Azores, with a population of about 250 people. Its remote Atlantic setting gives it a quieter, more isolated character than Portugal’s mainland cities.

Travellers typically arrive through Corvo Island (Azores) Airport, also known by its code, CVU. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so the island is better suited to visitors interested in its remote setting than to a beach-focused break. Corvo Island follows the Azores time zone.
