Praia do Seixal

The beach stretches along the northern coast of Madeira Island, flanked by steep green mountains and displaying a stark contrast between black volcanic sand and blue waters.

The beach area evolved from a 19th-century trading port into a recreational destination, marking a shift in the local economic focus from commerce to tourism.

Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at the adjacent harbor, while modern water sports enthusiasts engage in surfing and bodyboarding activities throughout the year.

The beach provides free facilities including showers, toilets, and changing rooms, with parking available directly behind the main beach area.

Natural waterfalls cascade down the mountain faces surrounding the beach, creating an environment where ocean waters meet fresh mountain springs.
