Tiny pebbled beach near Illheus da Janela

Tucked away behind a big rock this tiny nameless beach on the Northern coast of Madeira is truly hidden from the sight of the passers by. If you aren’t looking for it, the chances are small that you’ll just stumble on this place by coincidence. Leave your car at the parking lot opposite a small power plant and walk towards the staircase leading to the hole in the middle of the mountain (don’t worry, it’s just a few steps). Once you reach the top, a fantastic view opens up to you with impressive rock formations in the sea. Ok, you can also reach the beach just by walking next to the river, but it doesn’t have the same wow effect.

Chances are you will be completely on your own here. It was one of our favourite beaches of Madeira where the kids could play with the rocks and we just sat there watching the waves crash against the rocks. It’s a great place to take a picnic and spend an hour or even more.
