Praia Formosa

Best time

Sunset

From Funchal

10 min

Access

Easy

Funchal's main beach. Dark sand, ocean views, coastal promenade nearby. Not the most dramatic location on the island, but the most practical: 10 minutes from the city center, easy parking, facilities close.

Good starting point for families with young children, or as a second location in an extended session that starts further west.
