Overview: The island resort of Santa Maria, a fantastic holiday retreat, lies southwest of Sao Miguel, and features an airport that was a World War II American Air Force base which has now been appropriated as a civil airport. The main town on the island is Vila do Porto, which has only one hotel but several inns and private villas for rent. There are a few sandy beaches on the island, which offer some good scenery and walking opportunities.
