Praia do Porto do Seixal, Black sand beach in Seixal, Madeira, Portugal
Located on the northern coast of Madeira, Praia do Porto do Seixal extends along a shore of volcanic black sand beside mountains and waterfalls.
The beach area served as a strategic base for Allied forces during World War II before developing into a recreational destination for locals and visitors.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods along the coastline, contributing to the preservation of maritime customs and regional gastronomy.
The beach provides essential facilities including showers, restrooms, a cafe, and lifeguard services during peak seasons, with free public access throughout the year.
A natural tidal pool formed by volcanic rocks offers protected swimming areas, while a three-meter-high pier presents opportunities for water activities.
