Praia do Garajau, Protected beach in Caniço, Portugal

The coastal area features black pebbles both inside and outside the sea, with transparent waters allowing excellent visibility for swimming and diving activities.

The Garajau Partial Natural Reserve was established in 1986 to safeguard marine biodiversity and create a protected environment for numerous aquatic species.

The beach complex includes restaurants serving regional Madeiran dishes, reflecting the island's maritime traditions through fresh seafood preparations.

Access to the beach involves either taking a cable car ride or walking down a long road, with facilities including showers, changing rooms, and a first-aid station.

The underwater reserve prohibits fishing activities, creating a natural sanctuary where visitors can observe large marine species like dusky groupers and manta rays.
