About

Peter's Cafe Sport stands on the waterfront of Horta, a historic bar and restaurant with 106 years of maritime heritage. The spacious, blue‑faced establishment has served sailors, tourists and locals alike since 1918, offering a vibrant mix of classic Portuguese fare, a renowned gin selection and lively music. Visitors can also explore the adjacent Museum of Scrimshaw, home to an impressive collection of whale bone carvings and artifacts that highlight the islands’ whaling past. Beyond the cafe’s welcome warmth, Peter’s is the launch point for spectacular whale‑watching adventures around the Azores. Half‑day cruises cost 2,200 € and full‑day tours 3,800 €, bringing guests close to orcas, dolphins and humpbacks in the crystal waters. The site also offers biking routes through volcanic landscapes and guided tours of the Caldeira crater that reveal dramatic volcanic scenery. Whether you’re a history buff, a water‑sports enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, Peter’s Cafe Sport delivers an authentic Azorean atmosphere. The bar’s iconic flags, old ship figures, and panoramic sea views create a unique backdrop for casual drinks, family meals, or an adventurous sea‑day out.
