The Cabras Islets or Cabras Islet (Portuguese: Ilhéus das Cabras; literally, Islets of the Goats) is an uninhabited dual islet located along the southern coast of the island of Terceira in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. The group, with a total area of 29 hectares (72 acres) and perimeter of 3,239 metres (10,627 ft), is the largest islet in the Azores. Locals normally refer to it as a single islet (Portuguese: O Ilhéu das Cabras), but it comprises two landforms: the Ilhéu Pequeno (Small Islet) and the Ilhéu Grande (Large Islet).[1]
