Latest reviews on Gaula's beaches

Praia de Machico
10 Kaelan Dornan.

This is a fantastic beach for families with young children. It's not overly crowded, and there's a lovely restaurant in close proximity.

Praia do Garajau
10 Landon Kellner

This beach on the south coast is among the most beautiful ones. You can easily rent snorkeling equipment for 5€ per day from the nearby diving school.

Praia do Canical

Prainha do Canical
8 Lila Carter

This quaint little beach boasts ample parking and a short descent down the hill to reach the shoreline. Unfortunately, the café was closed during our visit, but what really caught our attention were the numerous signs forbidding the placement of personal towels on the sand - talk about uptight! The sea is relatively placid, ideal for a dip, but do note that there are no lifeguards on duty. While it's worth a stop, don't plan on lingering unless you're willing to shell out for a sun lounger.

Praia de S. Roque

Great spot

Praia das Palmeiras
10 Sergei Kovalenko

The beach is absolutely fantastic with a delightful variety of bars and restaurants to choose from. The stroll by the beach is truly breathtaking and a must-do activity.
