Message from Sergio

Praia da Fontinha is a beach that seamlessly blends natural beauty with modern amenities.

One of its standout features is the Cais Velho, or Old Pier. Built in 1929, the pier extends 102 meters into the sea and is 4 meters wide. Renovated in 2017 to preserve its structure, it now serves as a charming spot for photos. At the end of the pier, you’ll find the Moldura de Porto Santo, a picture-perfect frame where you can capture stunning views of the coastline.

Praia da Fontinha stretches for 720 meters, starting at the Old Pier and ending near the Torre Praia hotel, where it connects with Praia das Pedras Pretas. The beach is known for its fine golden sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters. With facilities like parking, restrooms, showers, lockers, dining areas, sunshades, loungers, and a first aid station, it’s a favorite for both locals and visitors.

One feature that makes this beach especially appealing to families is the children’s playground located nearby, making it an ideal choice for those with young kids.

Its central location in Vila Baleira makes it easily accessible, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The sands are also famed for their therapeutic properties, said to benefit rheumatic and orthopedic conditions.

Praia da Fontinha is a great choice for relaxing under the sun, swimming in clear waters, or enjoying the historic charm of the Old Pier. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, this beach offers something for everyone.
