Bugio Island
Island Small islet off Madeira, notable for seabird colonies
Bugio Island is a small islet associated with the Madeira archipelago, lying off the main islands and notable for its isolation and limited human activity. The islet forms part of the maritime landscape around Madeira and is primarily of interest for seabirds, marine ecology, and as a navigational feature.
There is little or no permanent habitation on the islet, and access is generally by boat from the larger nearby islands; it is visited occasionally for scientific or supervisory purposes. Its rocky shores and offshore position make it a minor landmark within the regional island group.
The islet lies off the coast of the Madeira region in the North Atlantic and is reached from the main island group by small craft; it is part of the broader natural and maritime environment of Madeira.
