Wind Surfing in Jardim do Mar, Calheta, Madeira Portugal

Maximum swell size:
2-3 m (6.5-10 ft)
Jardim do Mar is a charming village in the western part of the municipality of Calheta in Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago island. The name Jardim do Mar or the garden of the sea is owed to the craggy transition of upright bare slopes in a winsome resort, which in the past used to be covered with wild flowers. The pebble beaches attract many tourists for their natural beauty.

This place is surrounded by sea and mountain, thus this combination provides you with the serenity you may look for to give in. The narrow streets and the low level houses preserve the old days. Jardim do Mar offers the right conditions for windsurfing. So, if you want to feel full of adrenaline, then take your board and run to the beach.
