Good To Know

Nature's VIP Lounge on Madeira's North Shore
Tucked between dramatic cliffs and jungle-green mountains, Seixal Beach is proof that Mother Nature has a flair for the theatrical. The sand? Jet black. The water? Deep blue and always in the mood to dance. The backdrop? A Jurassic Park film set, minus the dinosaurs (and plus some chill beach vibes).

This isn’t your typical tropical beach. It's raw, wild, and totally photogenic. Perfect for adventurers, ocean lovers, and anyone looking to show off on Instagram without a filter.

Want to do more than just gaze lovingly at the horizon? You’ve got options. Grab a kayak, ride some waves, or channel your inner paddleboard pro. And yes, there's a beach bar—because hydration matters (especially when it comes in a coconut).

And here's the kicker: Seixal Beach is the perfect jumping-off point for nearby gems like Porto Moniz or those epic hiking trails through Madeira’s ancient laurel forest. Nature therapy? 100% guaranteed.
