Summer time in Jardim do Mar

Portinho, Jardim do Mar, August 1, 2011

If you like going for a swim, do discovery diving, sail, or simply lay on the sun and relax in exotic Jardim do Mar, you CAN do it.

The Western area, where Jardim do Mar and Sofia's Place stand, is the warmest and sunniest in the island, with no wind at all or little wind, in Summer. The East and North parts of Madeira have been cloudy, windy and even rainy this Summer.

Memory:
West is Jardim do Mar: Freedom, Well-Being and Contentment

Porto Santo, 2 hours away by ferry

Picture taken by Nelio with a mobile phone, last week, while on holiday there - click on to view it

Porto Santo island is also a good option if you come to Madeira islands. It's a two hour trip by ferry from Funchal, capital of Madeira. The ferry leaves in the morning and comes back in the evening. If want to get there very quickly, go by plane. You have got good hotels overthere to stay as long you wish.

Porto Santo has got this long and beautiful beach, but do not expect to get sunny days and too hot temperatures all the time even in Summer. Sometimes it gets even cool and windy. This little, exotic and dreamy island is best for resting, relaxing, get away from everything, playing golf, do water sports, do some health treatments with the island sand known for its (proven) healing properties and go for a swim in the celar blue-greenish sea water.

The substance or cure that the beach sand supposedly contains is a carbonated material, discovered to have a healing, therapeutic application for humans. And with such report, the Island has built a thalassotherapy health clinic.

But if you ever wondered what it would be like to personally try the sands healing properties, you need to go down and cover your whole body with the beach sand. Dig yourself in and enjoy a day down at the beach and test it for yourself , some swear by it.
