Discover the Hidden Gem of Porto Santo, Madeira

Located just 40km northeast of its more well-known sister island, Madeira, Porto Santo is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. This small island in the Atlantic Ocean is only 11km long and 6km wide, making it the perfect destination for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. With its stunning beaches, lush green landscapes, and charming traditional villages, Porto Santo is a must-visit for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions of Porto Santo is its golden sandy beaches, which stretch for over 9km along the island's southern coast. The crystal clear waters and gentle waves make it the perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. For a unique experience, take a walk along the beach during low tide and discover the natural swimming pools that form in the rocky areas. You can also visit the Calheta Islet, a small island just off the coast of Porto Santo, where you can snorkel and spot colorful marine life.

In addition to its beautiful beaches, Porto Santo also has a rich history and culture to explore. Visit the city's main square, Largo do Pelourinho, where you can see the traditional houses and the Pelourinho, a stone column that was once used for public punishments. You can also visit the Christopher Columbus House Museum, where the famous explorer is said to have lived for a while before setting sail on his voyage to America. And don't forget to try some of the local delicacies, such as the famous bolo do caco bread and the delicious limpets, a type of shellfish that is a staple in Madeiran cuisine.
