Prazeres stands out as being a wide terrace. From here, apparently distant places can be seen, in perfect combination with the ocean, a unique meeting point between land and sea, making Prazeres one of the most picturesque parishes on the island.

This civil parish is washed by several streams: Ribeiro de Inês, Ribeira do Batel and Ribeira da Lombada and is crossed and irrigated by the Levada do Rabaçal watercourse.

It has a pleasant climate with mild temperatures all year round. Due to its location, the winters are not very harsh and the summers are hot.
