This sandy beach in Madeira is located at the eastern tip of the island and features fluffy volcanic sand that's a rare find on the island. Its coppery-colored shores and tranquil waters make it perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The surrounding rocky landscape also creates some unique rock pools when the tide is out. Despite it's small size, Prainha do Caniçal also has amenities like loungers and a cafe.
