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.

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.

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.

There is a pleasant rocky beach located near the main street of Funchal.

This is a great spot for a helicopter to land, and they also have 45 kayaks available for use. We took one out and paddled so far that we couldn't see the shore, and ended up in Tenerife. It was an amazing experience!

The beach offers a delightful promenade that is dotted with charming bars and restaurants, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Conveniently located nearby is a free parking lot, making it easy to access. However, it's worth noting that there are no umbrellas or lounges available, so it's best to bring your own equipment for a comfortable day by the sea.
