Faial Beach is located on the north coast of Madeira Island, in the village of Faial, which belongs to the municipality of Santana. This coastal site stands out for its position at the mouth of the Ribeira do Faial, where the landscape is shaped by unique geological formations. The surroundings offer a tranquil environment and unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Characterized by an expanse of rolled pebbles and clear, salty waters, Faial Beach is an invitation for a swim. The bathing complex features a natural seawater pool, in addition to a dedicated children's pool, also with saltwater. For greater convenience in accessing the ocean, a paved area has been created. During the bathing season, lifeguard surveillance ensures visitor safety.
In addition to the bathing areas, Faial Beach offers a variety of spaces designed for entertainment and relaxation. There is a sand-surface sports field, suitable for various sports such as football, handball, and beach volleyball. A multi-sport pavilion complements the sports offering. For families, there is a children's playground. Visitors can also enjoy a large solarium for relaxation. Support infrastructures, such as changing rooms, showers, and a first-aid post, contribute to a comfortable and safe experience. The care for cleanliness and maintenance of the space are notable attributes.
