Machico, Madeira
About this beach
Praia de Machico is the largest natural sand beach in Madeira, set in the bay of Machico on the island's east coast. With golden sand imported from the Sahara and calm, sheltered waters, it is the most family-friendly beach in the archipelago, offering full facilities, Blue Flag status and lifeguard cover throughout the bathing season. The historic town of Machico, where explorer Zarco first landed in 1419, surrounds the beach with an authentic atmosphere and unique historical significance found nowhere else in Madeira.
