The peaceful atmosphere is the most distinctive feature of Penedo Beach. A first glance at the extensive sandy beach of Porto Santo immediately reveals its peacefulness. Located on the south-eastern tip of the island, closer to Porto de Abrigo, it's far from the hustle and bustle of the city and the more commercial area.
Being a less sought-after beach, it is possible to enjoy the famous water temperature here, which averages between 24 °C and 25 °C in summer, framed by fine, flat sand, which offers a number of scientifically proven health properties and benefits. It's, of course, a good choice for bathers looking to enjoy a quieter day at the beach with family, friends or alone.
Because it's a quiet beach, it's not possible to find such a wide range of bars in the proximity as in other parts of the island. However, Penedo Beach has all the necessary support services to guarantee comfort and safety. Therefore, it has toilets, a parking area inside the Porto de Abrigo, and a first aid post, supported by the ever-attentive presence of lifeguards and also by some catering services.
