Santa Maria marinas
Santa Maria is the southeastern Azorean island, with pale beaches, rural landscapes and vineyard terraces above São Lourenço bay.
Santa Maria
Santa Maria invites a quiet stay among rural landscapes and coastal bays. Walks around the island can be combined with swimming at the pale-sand beach of Praia Formosa. Vineyard terraces above São Lourenço Bay give the coast a particularly distinctive appearance.
Vila do Porto retains the character of a small historic settlement. An unusual feature of Santa Maria is its marine fossils, presented in a local exhibition. They reveal how the island has changed through its geological history.
