The Penedo Beach Area is located on the island of Porto Santo, in the district of Madeira, near the town of Vila Baleira. Its position is privileged along the coast, offering unobstructed views over the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. This location naturally fits into the scenery of the vast and continuous beach that characterizes much of the island.
Its proximity to Vila Baleira places it in an environment that, although near the main inhabited area, maintains a sense of tranquility and a direct connection with coastal nature, enjoying the serene atmosphere that envelops this insular region.
The name of the Penedo Beach Area naturally derives from a prominent rock formation that defines and singularizes this stretch of coast. This natural element serves as a distinctive visual landmark, giving a particular identity to this leisure area. The rock can shape the local landscape, creating nooks or altering sea currents, thus influencing the visitor's experience.
The presence of this rock contrasts harmoniously with the golden sand and clear waters, adding a scenic dimension and a point of interest that invites observation and contemplation of the island's coastal geology.
The Penedo Beach Area benefits from the natural characteristics that made the island of Porto Santo famous. The sand is composed of a golden hue, very fine and soft to the touch, extending along the coast. The waters that bathe this area are, in general, calm and transparent, ideal for swimming and enjoying the maritime environment.
The combination of the landscape, with the sand, the turquoise blue sea, and the uniqueness of the rock, creates an inviting environment for rest and contact with nature. The natural light falling on the island enhances the colors and textures, providing a visually rich and relaxing experience for the visitor.
