The Fradinhos (; literally, The Little Friars) is an unvegetated, uninhabited islet group composed of four distinct escarpments located off the southeast coast of the island of Terceira in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores.
==Geography== The Fradinhos are located off the coast of Terceira, approximately off of Porto Judeu and from Angra do Heroísmo. The four exposed rock formations are the basaltic tops of a submarine volcanic cone, heavily eroded by the sea and frequently immersed completely by waves during inclement weather. As such, the rocks only reach between above sea level.
