Why go
The beach beside Calheta's harbour gives this part of Madeira a different waterfront feel from the island's many pebble shores. The municipality extends toward the west end of the island, so the town can also anchor a broader day of cultural stops, coastal scenery or walking trails.
What to look for
- Calheta's sandy beach beside the recreational harbour
- The contrast between the town waterfront and the wider west-coast landscape
- Walking country across the municipality
Useful to know
- Use the beach and harbour for a focused town visit; allow more time if exploring the wider municipality.
- Choose a specific trail or cultural stop before setting out, since Calheta covers more than the waterfront.
