Come and discover the wonders of the coast of Santa Maria!

The island of Santa Maria has a set of very pronounced points such as Ponta do Marvão, Ponta do Castelo and Ponta do Norte, thus demarcating some sheltered bays: ​

- Baía da Praia Formosa, the best known beach with an extensive stretch of white sand;

​

- Baía de São Lourenço, with beautiful white sand beaches and salt water pool;

- Baía dos Anjos, with a natural swimming pool;

- Baía da Maia, rocky, with a large saltwater pool and a wonderful waterfall;

Along the coasts of Santa Maria there are also some islets of appreciable size, with emphasis on the Ilhéu do Romeiro, the Ilhéu das Lagoínhas and the Ilhéu da Vila.
