São Miguel Island (Portuguese for Saint Michael), nicknamed "The Green Island", is the largest and most populous island in Portuguese Azores archipelago. São Miguel doesn't have a lot of "beaches"; much of the shore is rough cliffs. Around the eastern edge, it is especially steep. As an Atlantic island, São Miguel can have heavy weather. São Miguel has a moderate coastal climate, with fog, rain and not very hot summer temperatures. It is very humid and green. São Miguel has several calderas, and hot springs can be found scattered over the island; mostly in the middle highlands. In the west there is a caldera and volcano crater that is almost filled by the beautiful Sete Cidades twin seas and the town of Sete Cidades. Steep mountain walls surrounds the lakes, one is azure blue, the other is greyish, and this is explained in a local myth
