Ribeira Brava beach, Beach in Ribeira Brava, Madeira, Portugal
The beach stretches 150 meters along the western coast of Madeira, featuring black pebbles and direct access to the Atlantic Ocean.
The beach lies at the mouth of a stream that gave the town its name in 1928 due to the strong water currents during winter.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at this beach, bringing fresh catches directly to the nearby restaurants and market.
The beach provides services including lifeguards, showers, restrooms, sunbed rentals, and multiple parking spaces near the waterfront.
A natural swimming pool adjacent to the beach offers protected bathing when ocean conditions become too rough for swimming.
