Praia da Faja dos Padres

The only option to access this beach is by cable cart. A return ticket costs 12€ per adult (I believe it is cheaper for kids). It is a pebble beach with hundreds of geckos ☺️ near the restaurant there are some beds for sunbathing. You can get an umbrella from the restaurant and I think it is free. Try some Madeira's cherries right there, they are great!

Beautiful place! If you're scared of heights close your eyes on the lift down like i did 😂 Beautiful sea, beautiful short walk through a fruit farm to get to it. The shore isn't ideal for lying on as it's incredibly rocky, but there's a concrete pier with steps down to the ocean to carefully get it. Alternatively you can jump off a dive into the water like many of the other vistors were which felt safe with all the people around. We went when it was a little busy, but everyone was polite, enjoying themselves and having a great time. - finding parking along the road to the lift was a little tricky.

Beach only accessible by cable car. Wonderful And very peaceful

Fabulous cable car ride. Idyllic walk to the restaurant then a lovely jetty and beach to explore

Wonderful visit here. Well worth going. Certainly visit again. Loved it. Xx
