Black Beach

Beautiful spot! We swung by for sunset and found parking easily, although I'm sure it would be difficult earlier in the day. There is a lot right by the beach and marked parking sprinkled down the road on the way down to the beach. We did see someone get a ticket who wasn't in designated parking. There are two waterfalls viewable from the beach, and one you can walk right up to. We didn't walk on the sand, but it did look quite sticky so keep that in mind.

Beautiful beach with a stunning dramatic coastline backdrop. Right next to the black sand is a natural pool, which is fun to explore. Definitely worth a stop if you’re driving by. Parking can be tricky, but with a little patience spots do open up.

Beautiful beach and natural pools. One shower to wash the black sand off and changing rooms available on the beach. Restaurant and bar close by overlooking the pool. Kids had fun jumping into the pool and playing in the waves on the beach. Parking and getting out of the place is hectic. We had parked up top but had an elderly lady with us and as the way down to the beach is quite steep we drove down to collect at the beach and getting back out was stressful. All in all beautiful place but not very accessible especially for elderly or ppl with disabilities.

Stunning beach with black sand. The water was so warm as well. There was a wild pool close by to enjoy by the oceean where the water was more calm. Amazing views all-around you there is also free parking with limited space also changing room and toilet if you're interested in swimming. This is such a beautiful place and a must see when in the area ❤️🏞️

The beach itself is not very nice - it is urban and has a very industrial-looking peer to the left of it. On the right side, however, is a lovely view ideal for photos - and there are a lot of tourist photo shoots to be seen on the right side of the beach :) the small waterfall is cute. Overall, this is one of the rare Madeira attractions that for us did not live up to its hype, except as a backdrop for social media photos.

We went on jeep tour was lucky to be able to spend some time on the beach. Beautiful place with its own waterfall too. If your a paddle boarder or surfer perfect for it.

This is a lovely beach, however I do feel it is quite overrated. The black sand makes it feel a little dirty and due to recent popularity it is very busy. Despite this, the water is incredibly clear and the surrounding scenery is unlike any beach you will see, very dramatic, with lots of greenery. Certainly not a must go but worth the time if you are nearby.

Beautiful beach and views.. The water is cold in Mid June.. But, feels amazing after a long day of hiking!... There are hoses and showers to rinse off after being covered in black sand!
