Seixal

Seixal occupies a narrow volcanic coastal shelf on Madeira’s north coast, between the Atlantic Ocean and the island’s steep, forested interior. The settlement is known for Praia do Porto do Seixal, where dark volcanic sand meets open water beneath high green slopes. Nearby natural lava pools provide sheltered places for sea bathing when conditions allow, while the north-coast road reveals Madeira’s dramatic changes in terrain over short distances. The parish church of Santo Antão reflects the enduring religious life of this small Madeiran community. Browse webcams nearby to see how Seixal connects with Madeira’s northern coast.
