Praia de São Vicente

Gorgeous beach on the north coast of Madeira!

Magnifique village et point de vue. Facile de se garer en basse saison .

The north coast of the island of Madeira is known for the vivacity of its sea.

It is no coincidence that this is one of the favorite regions of surfers who choose this pearl of the Atlantic to glide on the ocean waves.

Praia de São Vicente is, therefore, one of the favorite places for these athletes, but not only that.

Served by a bathing complex since 2004, it quickly became one of the most attractive spots in the municipality of São Vicente for lovers of water sports such as surfing or bodyboarding, for example.

This space, in fact, has a series of infrastructures to support these modalities, taking into account the excellent conditions that the sea presents here for this purpose — very different from those on the south coast of Madeira, where the sea is calmer.

In addition, Praia de São Vicente has a 620-meter promenade that connects to Varadouro da Baía dos Juncos, a name commonly used to designate Baía do Mota - the most popular spot in the municipality among the surfing community.

However, bathers who want to enjoy this space without venturing into extreme sports will also find several amenities.

Praia de São Vicente has a solarium area, as well as a restaurant and bar.

Never seen such strong waves before. Was very humbling and awe inspiring to watch.

Beautiful view over the ocean! You can feel the power of waves and aerosols!
