Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Praia do Zimbralinho (Madeira) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Praia do Zimbralinho (Madeira) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Praia do Zimbralinho for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This place is totally worth the walk u need to get there. The water is transparent, you can see fishes. The place is really beautiful and you can swim around the rocks. One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been!

Amazing place - beautiful and wild. I’d recommend going during low tide. Difficult place to get to - an extremely steep and long decent, so wear sensible shoes, and bring swimwear.

Cute beach.. Worth the walk down about 10 mins on some steep stairs from the car park. Snorkeling is good but the water gets deep quickly and it's very rocky. We stop at the small seat on the way back up and the local lizards come out to be fed by hand which is really strange.

Beautiful small beach with good snorkeling. Small path to get down to but worth it.

A great spot. Not crowded. Really nice to spend 2 or 3 hours. Advice: Bring your water/drinks/food with you. There's nothing around to buy something.
