Calheta beach

The Calheta Beach is a beach located near the town Calheta, on the island of Madeira, Portugal. Calheta beach is one of the few sandy beaches of Madeira, with sand imported from North Africa. However, these sand-imports were quite controversial, as the sand was taken from Western Sahara, a Non-Self Governing Territory which has been largely occupied by Morocco since 1975.

Located at 32.7189, -17.1744 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.
