Porto Santo - Beach Island in the Atlantic Ocean
Porto Santo is located in the Atlantic Ocean near the Portuguese island of Madeira. With its sandy beaches, Porto Santo looks much different than its more popular sister island. Only a few cruise ships visit Porto Santo, but the stopover is interesting and worth the visit.
