A guide to one municipality
calheta.eu covers the eight parishes of Calheta, from Arco da Calheta to Ponta do Pargo: what to see, where to swim and walk, what lives in the sea, the history and the feasts, and practical things such as the weather, transport and where to eat and stay. Start with the complete guide.
The pages draw on official sources, such as the regional government, the municipality and IFCN, Madeira’s nature conservation institute, and on time spent in Calheta. We update them when fees, rules or timetables change.
Looking for the old calheta.eu?
Until about 2021 this address belonged to a boat-trip company at Calheta marina. Its website is no longer here, and we don’t sell trips. The boats that run from the marina today are in whale watching, boat trips and big game fishing.
For the rest of the island, read madeirablog.eu, our sister site about Madeira.
