Whether it’s a languid cocktail as the sun goes down, or a quick refreshment during a day’s swimming, you’ll find some prime sites along the seashore. Beachside restaurants such as Pé na Água, Calhetas, and Mar e Sol are also good spots for just a drink or daytime snack. Also on the beach is Tia Maria (tel +351 291 982 400) which has palm umbrellas right on the sand, and attracts a lively night-time crowd.
In Vila Baleira, Cine Café Porto Santo, off the main square, in the cultural centre, is a fashionable bar and café that attracts what there is of Porto Santo’s artsy scene. You’ll find a number of places for a quick coffee or sandwich along Rua João Gonçalves Zarco, and down at the dockside in the new O Penedo do Sono development you’ll find the more upmarket Yacht Bar, as well as lively establishments that attract a younger crowd, such as Borda d’Agua.
