Top 10 Beaches in Madeira, Madeira Islands
Breezy Madeira is an eponymous island in the Madeira Islands, a Portuguese archipelago. The capital city of Funchal was settled in the 15th century and is a colorful collection of gardens, religious sites, and quirky tourist attractions like the thatched-roof Madeira Story Centre. Hike to the summit of Pico Ruivo and you’ll feel like you’ve climbed through the clouds. Unwind over a glass of Madeira wine, an historic fortified beverage that’s musky and subtly sweet.

Very nice place, not noisy at all (the bar music is not loud). Recommend using beach shoes since it is not sand and off course bring your snorkeling equipment.

We were in octomber here so it was not crowded. It is one of our favourites beaches in Madeira. You were there by car. The car must be left in the parking lot and then you need to go down on some stairs untill you reach the beach. It is a natural beach with black sand, not so big. It is good also for snorkeling. We saw some fish but not many. There is also a litlle bar at this beach. They serve also food. The problem was that if you wanted to use the toilet or the shower you needed to buy something drom the bar and ask for the key. But in my opinion you need to see this location!
3. Vereda do Pesqueiro

A descida pela encosta é efetuada em ziguezague, permitindo uma descida com um nível de inclinação relativamente suave, permitindo-lhe observar os antigos socalcos que outrora foram cultivados. Durante quase todo o percurso terá, à sua esquerda, uma longa cascata a acompanhar a sua descida pela encosta, confluindo no Oceano Atlântico.

Theres 3 sandy beaches on Madeira, where golden sand as been brought in from Morroco. My wife and I spent the whole day (Thursday) at Calhata beach. Weekends can get very busy on the sandy beach.So go for any other day(s) for space and enjoyment. Can recommend the Savoy cafe bar next to beach for drink and smacks. Water nice and calm and safe for families to enjoy. Also as lifeguards in attendance on the beach.

'Point of the sun' where you can bask in the sun. It is a pebble beach but has walk boards which you can also place a towel and enjoy the water. The ocean is in a man-made lagoon which allows for nice quiet swimming. Bring some sandals or beach shoes.
