Specifically situated on the "fajã" (coastal plain) from which it takes its name, Fajã da Pedra, this beach is integrated into a village that preserves a traditional fishing atmosphere, set against a distinct natural backdrop. Its position on the southwest coast offers a unique perspective of the Atlantic.

Composition and Waters:

Praia do Paúl do Mar is distinguished by its unique composition. It is a modest-sized beach, characterized by a mix of dark sand of volcanic origin and basalt pebbles, polished by the force of the Atlantic. One of its most appreciated features is the inviting temperature of its waters, often noted as one of the mildest on the island, making it particularly pleasant for swimming and moments of relaxation by the sea.

The Coastal Scenery:

The environment surrounding Praia do Paúl do Mar is of striking natural beauty. The beach is nestled between imposing cliffs that descend towards the sea, covered with vegetation, creating an appealing visual contrast. The landscape is dominated by the presence of the ocean and the rugged coastline, providing an unobstructed view.
