Ponta Delgada, Azores with Kids: What to Do & What to Skip

Creator's Key Takeaways
We ended up taking a private tour, which we'll talk about later, but we left the port and headed to our first stop, Riviera Grande.
This gem of a destination is amazing for families. It has bathrooms on site. It has free parking, an accessible walkway to the beach and just a stunning landscape of black sand and beautiful ocean.
And we spent most of our day in the car, which I absolutely regret.
Overall, Pontto Delgata is one of our all-time favorite port stops and is the best scene if you have a private tour or private car.
