Parque de Merendas dos Morenos is one of those hidden gems on Porto Santo that perfectly combines tranquility with breathtaking views. Located on the western side of the island, this picnic park offers a serene escape surrounded by lush greenery and dramatic cliffs. It’s not just a place to stop by—it’s an experience.

What makes this spot special is its simplicity and authenticity. Imagine shaded picnic tables under natural tree canopies, the scent of fresh barbecue wafting through the air, and the distant sound of waves crashing against the rugged coastline. It’s the perfect spot to gather with friends or family, enjoy some grilled local fish, and soak in the beauty of Porto Santo’s untouched nature.

From the nearby viewpoint, you’re rewarded with a striking panorama of the island’s rugged terrain and layers of volcanic rock—like an open book of Porto Santo’s geological history. The cliffs drop steeply into the turquoise waters below, creating a dramatic yet peaceful scene.

For those feeling adventurous, the park is also close to the secluded Zimbralinho Beach, a small cove with crystalline waters that feels like your private paradise.

Parque de Merendas dos Morenos feels like a secret shared among those who know and love the island. It’s not just a picnic spot—it’s a reminder of how Porto Santo’s simplicity and natural charm make it so unforgettable. If you’re looking for a mix of relaxation, great views, and a bit of adventure, this is definitely a place to include in your itinerary.
