Amasing view above harbour that reaches far south end of island, in a glance you can see all beach. Can get a bit windy up there.
You just have to see the island from the viewpoints...sand, historical buildings and controlled development
With one of the best views of the Southern coastline you will get some amazing pictures from here. The view takes you from above the port to the far western point of the Island
Amazing nearly 360 degree views over a large part of the Island- the harbour, out to sea, and the town and the beach. Easy walk to the iconic reconstructed windmills from the parking area. Numerous wild flowers and grasshoppers at time of visit. Peaceful.
We went there on a jeep safari by "Bonus Journey" company and loved!!!
This is a little gem of an island. Totally unspoilt and infomercial. Not the place to if you want lots of shops, or nightlife. Just an amazing beach. Lovely people, and sunshine.
Good views over the small harbour and beach to the West of the Island.In easy distance to the reconstructed windmills that can be seen on the hilside behind the viewpoint. We walked to the viewpoint but probably best to visit by car or with a tour bus.
This is the most iconic viewpoint of Porto Santo Island. From this viewpoint its possible to see the whole 9km of golden sand beach.I really recomend it!
Nothing to dislike as the island is very small so the viewpoint gives you a feel of belonging (for a while at least) to a very exclusive community.
Porto Santo Island is really small. You can go from one end to the other in just an afternoon. Get a map from the island and you will find the viewpoints quite easily. Portela Viewpoint is not an end, you can actually continue around the island from here. In my opinion getting a motorcycle like this or a moto 4x4 is the best way to explore the island.
