Calheta Sand Beach
Imported golden sand forms a roughly 100-metre beach beside Calheta’s recreational harbour. Choose this managed shore when an easy sand-and-harbour beach day is the priority.
Why go
This is a practical choice for a sandy beach day on an island with many pebble and lava shores. The adjacent harbour changes the setting from a wild cove, so choose it for accessible seaside leisure rather than solitude. The sheltered bay makes the beach feel very different from the island’s exposed surf shores.
What to look for

Useful to know
