Porto Santo Island - Recreation for soul and body

by salinhopt - last update: Nov 10, 2003

Porto Santo

Porto santo - Viewpoint
A mere 40 km away from the island of Madeira, two and a half hours by boat or, if preferred, just 15 minutes by plane, lies one of the most beautiful and idyllic islands in the world: Porto Santo!
If you believe this to be fanciful exaggeration, then why not come and see for yourself!
Porto Santo - beach
The soft and golden sand, renowned for its therapeutic properties, bathed by a warm and crystal clear sea, a dry and stable climate all year round, are but some of its attributes.

It is possible to indulge in every type of outdoor sporting activity on the island of Porto Santo. Apart from water sports such as diving, windsurfing or sailing, you can also enjoy the perfect natural environment as you paraglide from the cliff tops, walk along recently restored primitive footpaths or cycle across the south coast of the island.

Here you will discover the other side of life: Tranquillity!

 What a sunny place. You're pics are stunning. I love all those beach pics and , but also the natural sights of the island. It seems to me Porto Santo Island isn't just beach bumming, but also good for activities. Thanks for such a great site!!!
