This beach is one of the top pebble beaches on Madeira. Situated in Porto da Cruz, this wide and stunning pebble beach offers a unique feature - the majestic Penha d’Águia (Eagle's Rock), towering at an impressive height of 598 meters, serves as a captivating backdrop, adding a touch of untamed beauty to the beach. Praia da Maiata is a popular surfing destination, attracting surfers from around the World. It might look like a rocky pebble beach, but after a few meters in the water the bottom is sandy so you can walk pretty comfortably there.
