At 517 metres, Pico do Facho is the highest point on Porto Santo and one of the island’s most spectacular viewpoints. Its name comes from facho, a signal fire once lit here to warn the local population of approaching pirate ships. The trail to the summit is moderately easy, suitable for most walkers who are comfortable with uneven terrain and a bit of uphill hiking. It typically takes around 2 to 2½ hours for a round trip at a leisurely pace. Along the way, the trail offers occasional lookout spots where you can pause to take in the island’s volcanic ridges and sweeping landscapes. Once at the summit, you’ll be treated to full 360-degree views: the island’s long golden beach stretched below, rugged volcanic hills rolling inland, and the Atlantic fading into the horizon.

Fort George was a colonial era fortification that was built in 1790s to protect the harbour. By the 20th century, the fort was no longer in use. Only a tall silk cotton tree growing within the fort was used as a lookout post to spot German submarines that patrolled the Caribbean waters. Today, very little remains of the structure. The ruins belong to the National Trust for the Cayman Islands and are an important remnant of the colonial times.

At the western gate of the Unaizah city, Al Bassam Heritage House is a traditional building, carefully preserved to showcase architectural elements and relics of the past.
