About the Beach

Praia de São Lourenço sits at the eastern tip of Madeira island, at Ponta de São Lourenço, one of the most dramatic landscapes in the archipelago with cliffs exposed to wind and sea. The pebbled beach, wild and isolated, is reached by a walk along the trails of the Madeira Natural Park. The views of Ponta de São Lourenço and the Ilhas Desertas in the background are absolutely memorable.
