Located in the picturesque town of Calheta, with very attractive comfort conditions, the Calheta Sand Beach is one of the most popular bathing resorts on the west coast of the island of Madeira.
It is the perfect place to enjoy the warm days of this region, between the pleasant sandy beach and the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic.
Close to the Recreational Harbour, the Calheta Sand Beach is 100 metres long and has a sunbathing area of about 7300 m². When it was inaugurated in 2004, it became the first artificial beach in Madeira, using golden sand imported from Morocco.
This beach has two breakwaters on a slope, which protect it. Because it has all the necessary conditions (and is bathed by warm waters), this bathing resort is very popular among enthusiasts of water sports such as canoeing and windsurfing.
The Calheta Sand Beach is a free-access beach with sun loungers and parasols, a bar area, changing rooms and first-aid facilities. All the conditions are therefore in place for bathers to comfortably enjoy their bathing experience.
