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

Beautiful beach area. It has some rocks so the best time it’s when the ocean is full

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!

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.

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.
