Calheta
Calheta is the island's main centre of banana plantations
vineyards and sugar-cane production. Situated on Madeira's south-western shorelineIt it is also a pleasant place to stopover while driving along the coast road to the north. Calheta is a lovely area by the sea with a nice man-made beach with golden sand, and a big marina. This beach offers a wide variety of activities (canoeing, windsurf boards and catamaran rental services) and crystal clear water. The yellow sand was brought mainly from Morocco, but also from Figueira da Foz (mainland Portugal). On the main avenue leading to the beach you will find some good fish restaurants serving fish ‘cataplanas’ and other tasty sea food dishes and local specialities, to be sampled with cold white wine !
