Discover Campo De Cima in Porto Santo

Campo De Cima in Porto Santo can be explored through the windmills in Sítio do Campo de Cima and Miradouro do Moinho, with views of the golden sandy beach and the Atlantic. Also available is a half-day guided island tour with a stop at the viewpoint, as well as maritime activities in the broader context of the island. When planning your trip, it is helpful to distinguish between local points of interest and topics relating to Porto Santo as a whole: the windmills and Miradouro refer to specific places in Campo De Cima; the information about diving relates to the island. This way, you can prioritise the aspects that match your interests.

Windmills, views and an island tour

A municipal project in Porto Santo focuses on restoring and enhancing windmills. Sítio do Campo de Cima is also associated with windmills. On the island, windmills were a defining feature of the cultural and historical landscape until the 1960s. This brings together two time periods: the historical role of the windmills and the restoration and enhancement focus of a municipal project. For you, this provides a specific cultural connection that extends beyond a single viewpoint.

Miradouro do Moinho offers views of Porto Santo’s golden sandy beach and the Atlantic Ocean. While the windmills provide a cultural and historical connection, the Miradouro directs your gaze to the coast and sea. A half-day guided island tour stops at Miradouro do Moinho. When planning your day, you can include the tour as a separate activity; the stop at the viewpoint is part of the excursion. Check the tour’s dates before planning.

Maritime activities and diving in Porto Santo

When diving in Porto Santo, visibility is considered excellent down to depths of around 40 metres. One specific underwater destination is the artificial reef formed by the ship “Madeirense”, which was sunk in 2000 and can be explored while diving. These details answer different questions: the depth figure describes visibility, while the “Madeirense” refers to a named reef. Together, they offer both an environmental perspective and a specific point of interest for diving on the island.
