The dunes of Porto Santo might not be huge, but they’re a fascinating sight. Fine sand, traces of coral, and layered sediment form natural patterns and small ridges, while the backdrop shifts between low mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. This unique ecosystem is one of the few sandy dune systems in the Madeira Archipelago, and it’s just a short walk from the beach.

Båtsmansgränd is a narrow alley located in Gamla Öster, the area above the harbour. Here, you'll find eight quaint, timber-framed boatmen's cottages, constructed in the 1740s. Their simple yet traditional design reflects the era's architectural style. Originally, they served as homes for the boatmen and their families, whom Västervik town was obliged to equip on behalf of the Crown. In the first half of the 20th century, the cottages housed members of the citizens' fire brigade. In the 1970s, these now heritage-listed cottages were converted into a hostel, available for rent in the summer.
