Zpráva od Sergio

Fonte da Areia is a captivating spot on the northwestern coast of Porto Santo, known for its striking sandstone cliffs and its historical significance. The area was once home to a natural spring that provided the purest water on the island, believed to have healing properties and considered sacred. Although the spring is no longer active, its remnants still evoke the island’s rich history.

The sandstone cliffs here are a natural marvel, sculpted over centuries by the relentless forces of wind and ocean. These formations showcase Porto Santo’s unique geological history, with exposed layers of aeolian sandstone revealing the power of erosion and time. For nature and geology enthusiasts, Fonte da Areia offers an up-close look at the island’s natural evolution.

The area is designed as a recreational zone, with picnic spots and barbecue facilities, making it an ideal destination for a relaxing day out with family or friends. Nearby, there’s also a scenic viewpoint offering breathtaking views of the ocean and the surrounding cliffs, perfect for capturing unforgettable photos or simply soaking in the tranquil atmosphere.

It’s best to visit Fonte da Areia in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the intense midday sun and enjoy the softer lighting for photography. While exploring, it’s important to exercise caution, as some areas may be unstable due to erosion. The site is relatively remote, so bringing water and snacks is recommended for a comfortable visit.
