This beach stands out as one of the rare natural sandy beaches in Madeira, surrounded by beautiful rock formations and dunes on both sides. Prainha Beach may not be the largest beach, but its intimate and secluded atmosphere is enhanced by the cozy little bay and the soft brownish-black volcanic sand. Prainha beach is located in Caniçal in the most eastern tail of Madeira, the area of Ponta de São Lourenço. You can easily park above Prainha beach at the free parking lot, from where you have stairs leading down to the beach.
