Calhau dos Anjos Beach

Ah, the sunny west coast of Madeira! With more hours of sunshine than any other part of the island, it’s the perfect spot for sun-worshippers who want to relax by the sea. And if you’re heading that way, Praia dos Anjos is a must!

Located in Canhas, this beach offers everything you need during the summer months: a beach bar with a terrace, restrooms, umbrellas, and easy access via wooden decks right down to the water.

Praia dos Anjos lies along the scenic E.R. 101 road, which links the village of Ponta do Sol to Madalena do Mar. Along this route, don’t miss the iconic Cascata dos Anjos—a dramatic waterfall that cascades down a steep cliffside!

The beach itself has black sand and basalt pebbles, accessible via Caminho dos Anjos and a wooden staircase. Stick around for sunset here; it’s simply unforgettable!
