Porto Santo Beach Webcam, Madeira

If you’re hoping to catch a quick glimpse of the beach on the Portuguese island of Porto Santo, you’re in the right place. A quick glimpse is what you’ll get with this live feed as the cam whizzes from one part to another at just under the speed of light.

The 42km² island of Porto Santo makes up part of the Madeira archipelago and is geographically closer to Morocco than it is to Portugal. The island, as well as having incredibly unspoilt beaches, has a historical claim to fame as it was the birthplace of Christopher Columbus’ wife. Not a great deal has happened there since that time which is probably a bonus as, apart from one town and a couple of golf courses, it remains relatively undeveloped.
