Praia do Garajau

"There are several places in the Madeira archipelago that surprise visitors with their paradisiacal features. Garajau Beach, located in a marine reserve, is one of these places. Its natural conditions are perfect for diving. This bathing area is located in the Garajau Partial Nature Reserve, created in 1986 with the aim of protecting the dazzling biodiversity of these waters and thus preventing the desertification of the seabed. Currently, fishing is prohibited in this protected area and navigation is subject to several restrictions. The calm, clear waters of Garajau Beach are, of course, widely sought after by diving enthusiasts. Here, diving enthusiasts enjoy the unique opportunity to come into contact with a rich fauna, including large species such as the grouper (Epinephalus guaza) and the manta ray (Mobula birostris). Garajau Beach can be accessed by cable car. There, bathers will find several support facilities, such as toilets, changing rooms and a first aid station. They can also enjoy a pleasant meal, with the Atlantic in the foreground, in the restaurant area of ​​this bathing complex."
