• Madeira Beaches

  • Most of Madeira Island’s, 150 km, coastline is bordered by high basalt cliffs,
    where the mountain slopes fall into the ocean leaving almost no beach strip.
    Surprisingly, the island has only a total of 1 km long of small beaches covered
    with black pebbles or sand, which are scattered through out the Island’s coastline.
    To compensate for the lack of beaches there are in various towns Bathing Complexes
    offering saltwater pools with all the required bathing facilities.
