Ponta do Sol beach

Ponta do Sol is the warmest place on the island. Such weather conditions are explained by the resort's advantageous location: it's nestled in a sheltered area, protected from all winds by towering cliffs. The pebble shore attracts lovers of sunbathing and swimming. Strong waves are effortlessly held back by the sturdy breakwater.

Modern amenities, including a library, bar, and lifeguard services, create a comfortable and safe holiday environment. Tourists can dine in one of the many beachside restaurants. Furthermore, a selection of comfortable hotels nearby stands ready to welcome all guests.

When is the Best Time to Visit

• The best time to visit Madeira for a beach vacation is typically between June and August. During these summer months, the weather is warm and sunny, with average temperatures ranging from 22°C to 25°C (72°F to 77°F), creating ideal conditions for spending time on the beach and swimming in the sea.

  • June marks the beginning of the beach season, with fewer tourists and a pleasant climate.
  • July sees a slight increase in both temperatures and tourist numbers, offering a vibrant holiday atmosphere.
  • August is the peak of the summer, with the warmest weather, but also the largest crowds.

  For those looking to enjoy the beaches with fewer crowds, the shoulder months of May and September can also be excellent choices. The sea temperature remains comfortable, and the island is less busy than in the peak summer months. Regardless of when you visit, Madeira's stunning coastline and beautiful sandy beaches provide a perfect backdrop for a memorable beach vacation.
