Porto Formoso is well worth an extended visit. The dos Moinhos beach is beautifully situated. Access is via a rather bucolic stone lane. Note that it's best to swim there in the morning, as the sun disappears behind the hills later in the day. The sand is quite light and fine, a stream flows into the sea, giving the place a real charm, and a restaurant/snack bar offers a fine view over the bay. We also recommend the hike around the village. It's a 6 km walk along the ocean. The village is also home to one of the island's - and Europe's - two tea factories.
