Calheta

Calheta Beach is one of the few sandy beaches in Madeira. The sand was brought from Morocco and turned this area, with its warm waters, into a sought after spot by bathers. The beaches facilities include bars, changing rooms, sundeck and game court.

Included in the Calheta Beach complex, the marina has a capacity for 300 boats. Right beside the marina there is a supermarket and on the adjacent promenade there are several bars and restaurants as well as nautical chandlers and boat shops.

Calheta Marina has excellent conditions for those arriving by boat (and not only) including a fuelling station, lounge with TV and internet access, a boat to assist in manoeuvres and a parking lot with a capacity for 340 cars. Here you have everything to feel at home.

Right next to the harbour and Calheta Beach there is the promenade. On it you can enjoy a lovely stroll by the sea. And should you wish to, you can use the facilities that are available: both the beach and the marina facilities.
