This Beach is located on the northwestern coast of Madeira and is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Unlike many other beaches in Madeira, Seixal Beach stands out for its sandy shoreline, which is quite unique.

The beach offers a breathtaking view with its backdrop of green cliffs, a distant waterfall cascading into the ocean, and the soft black sand. It is a perfect destination for beachgoers, photographers, and surfers alike. This beach is an ideal spot to witness a beautiful sunrise. You can combine your visit to Seixal Beach with other attractions such as the Porto Moniz Natural Pools, the Seixal Natural Pools and Bridal Veil Waterfall (Véu da Noiva). Seixal Beach does not have an entry fee, and the small parking lot is also free of charge. If the parking lot gets crowded, you may need to park further up the hill.
