It is located on the eastern frontier of Porto Moniz on the border with the municipality of São Vicente. The largest parish in Porto Moniz by area extends from the Atlantic Ocean into the interior of Paul de Serra.

Seixal has a subtropical Mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csa)

This parish is very abundant in water, the proof is in the various waterfalls there. The most famous is the Véu da Noiva Waterfall, which flows from the mountain at a considerable height and crashes into the sea, and is perhaps one of the best known on the island. Just like Seixal, a city on the mainland, the origin of its name is identical: it arose due to the abundance of pebbles on the beaches.

   Seixal Beach

(Praia do Seixal)

On the north coast of the island of Madeira, there is a place known for its unique beauty. Porto de Abrigo do Seixal Beach, also known simply as Seixal Beach, is an authentic living postcard. As such, its landscape has conquered the sea, nature, and, of course, photography lovers.

The scenery is painted in charming tones: a black sand beach bathed by the Atlantic and sheltered by escarpments and green mountains. This place therefore looks like a green amphitheatre, offering bathers a peaceful atmosphere.

Formed naturally a few years ago, next to Porto de Abrigo and Clube Naval do Seixal, this beach has good accesses and some facilities, such as showers, a bar, and even the possibility of renting kayaks. It is a quite popular spot all year round for several water sports, such as bodyboarding, canoeing or stand up paddle.

Seixal Beach is one of the best gateways to Porto Moniz for visitors. From here, you can easily reach multiple points of interest, such as hiking trails that cross the Laurissilva Forest.

Details

A black sand beach contrasting with the overlooking green mountains and bathed by a crystal-clear sea: this is how the idyllic setting of Porto de Abrigo do Seixal beach can be described.

Laje Beach

(Praia da Laje)

32.825868, -17.118148

It's known that Madeira's north coast hides some of the island's most beautiful natural treasures. In fact, the beaches in this part of the region have unique characteristics that set them apart from the rest.

Laje Beach is an unsupervised beach located in the parish of Seixal, municipality of Porto Moniz, and is also known as 'Jamaica Beach', a name given to it because of the palm trees planted along the promenade, which stretches for hundreds of meters.

Sometimes, diving into the sea can be difficult due to swells and currents, so we recommend that you only go for a swim if the sea is calm.

You can enjoy the landscape around this pebble beach and the tranquillity transmitted by the green of the mountain and the crystal-clear blue of the sea as you stroll along the promenade by the sea.

Details

Laje, also known as Jamaica Beach, is an unsupervised beach in the parish of Seixal, surrounded by a typically Madeiran landscape.
