Message from Kellie Paxian

This was very likely my FAVOURITE spot in Madeira, and especially unreal for sunrise!!! It's just soooo picturesque. Located on the north coast of Madeira, Seixal Beach is a hidden gem with a stunning black sand beach surrounded by lush green mountains. Come here to check out (and stand under!) the waterfalls, laze on the beach, or do water sports like bodyboarding and kayaking. With good facilities and easy access, it's a perfect gateway to explore the beauty of Porto Moniz and nearby hiking trails through the Laurissilva Forest. It's like a little slice of paradise waiting to be discovered!
