Latest reviews on Ponta do Sol's beaches

Calheta Beach
10 Sarai Rodriguez

This place is fantastic with two beaches. It's great to take a stroll and grab a cup of coffee by the beach. You can hear the waves, which makes it incredibly peaceful.

Ponta do Sol Beach
10 Parker Winsted

This charming spot is perfect for a leisurely stroll along the pebbled shore. Take a break at one of the cozy cafes and indulge in a cup of coffee or a delectable snack while admiring the mesmerizing view of the waves colliding with the rugged rocks.

Praia Da Ribeira Brava
8 Serene Smith

The beach features a small area of soft black sand, approximately 30 meters in length, while the remaining portion is comprised of large, rounded pebbles or small rocks. A wooden walkway has been constructed, and there are several wooden platforms that can accommodate 2-3 people. Some of these platforms have parasols, which makes sunbathing more comfortable if you are lucky enough to get one. The water is tranquil as it is situated in a man-made bay. It is a pleasant place to spend a few hours, and the sunset is particularly beautiful.

Praia da Madalena do Mar
10 The Critiquist.

This pebble beach may be small, but it's perfectly adequate for a day out. It's situated at the end of the promenade from the main road, but it's recommended to park further up and walk down. The beach itself is entirely pebbled, and the current can be strong, so it's best to have company. Lifeguards aren't present in the area, so it's important to be cautious. The pier is a great spot for swimming or fishing. At the end of the promenade, you'll find a small playground for children and two cafes/bars where you can relax in the shade and grab a bite to eat or drink.

Praia de Vigario
10 Nyx Alvarado

The beach is absolutely stunning and there are hardly any people around, making it the perfect place to unwind and appreciate the beauty of nature.

Fajas de Cabo Girao
