A useful stop on Terceira
Porto Martins brings several coastal uses together on Terceira’s east coast. The official bathing area includes a natural pool, a small sandy section, a sun terrace, sanitary facilities, a bar and a restaurant, making the developed part of the coast particularly practical for a relaxed stop.
The same area also has an identity connected with surfing, but that experience depends on different conditions and should not be confused with the sheltered, equipped bathing area. The sea state is therefore an important part of deciding how to use the place on the day.
Porto Martins works well when the aim is to combine a coastal landscape with practical facilities. It can serve a slower day by the sea, while also offering a different reading of the same coastline for travellers interested in surfing.
