Located on the south coast of Porto Santo island, Vila Baleira Beach stretches along the locality that gives it its name, Vila Baleira. This beach offers a vast panorama of the Atlantic Ocean, with a horizon line that vanishes into the blue. It is situated in the immediate vicinity of the island's main urban center, providing direct access to the serenity of the seaside.
The most distinctive feature of Vila Baleira Beach is, without a doubt, its fine golden sand. Recognized for its unique properties, this sand of organic and volcanic origin is composed of calcium carbonate, and is traditionally associated with therapeutic benefits, especially for bone and muscle conditions. Its soft texture and golden hue create an inviting setting for rest and contemplation.
The waters that bathe Vila Baleira Beach are typically calm and transparent, reflecting the blue of the sky and inviting moments of tranquility. The extensive stretch of sand allows ample space to enjoy the maritime landscape, the sound of the waves, and the sea breeze. It is a place that provides a genuine connection with coastal nature, ideal for those seeking the peace and intrinsic beauty of a beach environment.
