Praia Formosa is the largest free public beach on Madeira Island. Located in Funchal, the main capital of the Portuguese island, Praia Formosa is made up of four beaches with a combination of sand and pebbles. It provides many facilities including restaurants, toilets, changing rooms, showers, and a lifeguard station. Additionally, visitors can enjoy walking or jogging along the promenade which connects all the beaches. Explore the caves, rock formations, and vibrant cliff sides before taking a dip in the calming ocean waters. All that combined, Praia Formosa is truly an unforgettable experience, perfect for a relaxing day under the sun.
