Banda d’Além Beach
Imported golden sand lines the right side of Machico’s bay near the river mouth. This town beach suits travellers seeking sand within easy reach of historic Machico.
Why go
The bright shore is a clear contrast to Madeira’s natural black sand and pebble beaches. Choose it when sand and a town setting matter more than an isolated cove; the bay location also makes a beach visit easy to pair with Machico’s old centre.
What to look for
Golden sand in Machico Bay
Useful to know
This is an urban bay beach; allow extra time if combining it with Machico’s fort and old streets.
