Praia do Vigário – The Coolest Pebbles You’ll Ever Sit On
Welcome to Praia do Vigário, Câmara de Lobos’ not-so-secret coastal hideaway that proves you don’t need golden sand to feel like you're in paradise.
Here, the Atlantic crashes against smooth black pebbles, the cliffs stand tall like they’ve seen some things, and the vibe? Pure chill. 🪨🌊😌

Forget beach bars with techno beats. This place is raw, honest, and beautifully real – just how Madeira likes it. Want a swim? There’s a gentle concrete slope for easy access. Want to tan like a lizard? There's plenty of flat sun-warmed stone.
And the views? 100% “forget your phone exists” level.

📍 Pro tip: Grab a poncha nearby before you head down, and watch the waves roll in with citrus in one hand and serenity in the other.

No sand in your shoes. No crowd chaos. Just Madeira doing its dramatic coastal thing.
