Porto Santo
2 webcams
Porto Santo is Madeira's sun-drenched sister island — its nine-kilometre beach of golden therapeutic sand is one of the finest in Portugal and a remarkable contrast to Madeira's rugged black coast. Christopher Columbus lived on Porto Santo before his famous voyages and his house is preserved as a museum. The island's gentle rolling hills, warm dry climate and the healing properties attributed to its sands attract visitors year-round.
