Unlike your typical sandy beach, this well-maintained spot has concrete terraces that lead directly to the sea.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The complex offers a spacious sun deck, bathrooms, changing rooms, lockers, and a bar. You&#8217;ll find parasols, sun loungers, and a first aid station, with a lifeguard on duty to ensure everyone\u2019s safety. Accessibility is a priority here, with a lift and ramps making it easy for people with reduced mobility to enjoy the beach.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you love swimming in deeper waters, Praia da Barreirinha is the place for you. However, since the sea can get quite choppy, it might not be the best choice for young children.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sunbathing areas provide breathtaking views of the Atlantic, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring Funchal. It&#8217;s easy to see why Praia da Barreirinha is considered one of the best beaches in Funchal.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b9d846 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5b9d846\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9181cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b9181cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Praia de S\u00e3o Tiago\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfd43ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bfd43ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Praia-de-Sao-Tiago.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1028\" alt=\"Praia-de-Sao-Tiago\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Praia-de-Sao-Tiago.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Praia-de-Sao-Tiago-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd22c45 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd22c45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just around the corner from Barreirinha, you&#8217;ll find Praia de S\u00e3o Tiago (St. James Beach). It\u2019s located next to the historic Fort of S\u00e3o Tiago, adding a touch of history to your beach day. There\u2019s a concrete esplanade similar to Barreirinha with access down to a pebble beach with some larger rocks in the water. As such, we suggest wearing booties to make getting in and out of the water easier.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The waters here are calmer than at Praia da Barreirinha, so much so that fishing boats often moor in the outer area after nights at sea. The inviting waters are perfect for a refreshing dip. However, it&#8217;s important to note that there\u2019s no lifeguard on duty, so this beach might not be the best choice for families with young children either.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right above the beach is a beach bar, making it a great place to spend a leisurely afternoon. The blend of history and relaxation makes it one of the must-visit Funchal beaches.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9b363a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f9b363a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fc2406 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2fc2406\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Praia do Almirante Reis<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6379e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"b6379e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=J1Tk1wwyehs&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df2da01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"df2da01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a relaxing spot in Funchal, Madeira, you\u2019ll love Praia do Almirante Reis. This small pebble beach offers gorgeous views of the mountains and the city bay. While it\u2019s not your typical sandy beach, its natural beauty and peaceful vibe make it a fantastic place to unwind away from the crowds.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best things about this beach is the calm waters, thanks to the breakwaters that create gentle waves. It\u2019s generally safe for swimming, so it\u2019s a good option for families. Just keep in mind that the beach has a steep slope and doesn\u2019t have amenities like bathrooms or changing rooms, which could be a bit tricky for those with young kids.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Praia do Almirante Reis is also a favourite among the locals, making it a great spot for some casual people-watching. You can sit back, relax, and soak in the laid-back atmosphere as everyone enjoys a sunny day by the sea.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1887558 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1887558\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ecd59d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ecd59d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Praia do Gorgulho - Gavinas<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e01a3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3e01a3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Praia-do-Gorgulho-Gavinas\u200b.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1032\" alt=\"Praia do Gorgulho - Gavinas\u200b\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Praia-do-Gorgulho-Gavinas\u200b.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Praia-do-Gorgulho-Gavinas\u200b-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e01411 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0e01411\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving a bit further along the coast, Praia do Gorgulho &#8211; Gavinas is another great option.

Located a bit further west of the city centre (about 10 minutes by car), Praia Formosa is the largest public beach in Funchal.
