Os ilhéus da ilha do Porto Santo são desabitados e rodeiam-na. Juntos constituem a Rede de Áreas Marinhas Protegidas do Porto Santo, criada em 2008. São locais rochosos, cobertos por arbustos e flora costeira da Macaronésia, razão pela qual se encontram protegido pelo PDM, pela Rede Natura 2000 e são, ainda, parte integrante do Parque Natural da Madeira.
