Awesome, rocky place where you can see the tip of Madeira, from this point there are only 50 km to Sao Laurenco point. Nice place to stay and watch waves crashing. Can be very windy.

Beautiful place, loved it. The water is clear. I would recommend to come here when there is wind if you want to take photos.

Picture perfect on late afternoon. There is also the possibility to do kayac if any space available. I'll advice to book in advance you won't regret it.

Great beaches around! If you are looking for some relaxing pretty much quite far away from the usual crowded places… this is te place to go! Porto Santo is amazing!

Wonderful viewpoint, you can walk or - better - ask a taxi for going there. There’s a small fish restaurant on the beach

Gorgeous sandy beach with shallow waters. Very unique beach beach within the Madeira islands. Sand like powder. There are some rocks in the sea, be aware. The water was very wavy when we went. There is spacious parking and a bar plus facilities.

Located on Porto Santo island. It's not that famous but it's a must see if you are nature and sea enthusiast. Clean sea with nice sandy beach ⛱️ . I loved it there because it was so pretty sight on the coastline in light sea breeze. There is also a bar with WC.
