Marina da Calheta
Marina da Calheta sits on Madeira's southwest coast, about 16 nautical miles west of Funchal, with 337 berths handling boats from 6 to 25 metres. It's a lively spot with restaurants and amenities right on the waterfront, and the famous imported-sand beach is just steps away. The surrounding Calheta municipality offers vine-covered hillsides, local levada walks, and a rum distillery worth checking out.
