Portugal, Madeira island, Praia da Calheta

Madeira island

Ultimate guide (January 2025)

Madeira - the most popular island in Portugal. Unfortunately, there are no many beaches. Praia da Calheta is the best beach, but it doesn't make sense to go so far just to see it. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

This beach ranks #2 of the "Best beaches in Madeira islands"
