There are two white sandy beaches in Madeira and one of them is practically on your doorstep. Just 5 minutes away by car you will find “Praia da Calheta”, which is also known as the most beautiful beach of Madeira. Because it was filled up with Sahara sand, it is also called the golden beach. Here you can spend wonderful days by the sea with everything you need: sunbeds and umbrellas can be rented on the beach and the changing rooms and showers are located right on the promenade. The constructed breakwater protects you from the Atlantic waves and allows you to enjoy dreamy bathing days all year round. There is also a beach volleyball court and you can satisfy your hunger after the game in the snack bar. Be sure to try a “Prego special” – it’s not just a sandwich, this is Madeira! If you prefer something more elaborate, choose between the numerous restaurants of different price ranges at the newly built marina to indulge in culinary delights.
