    Machico Bay combines history and beauty in a single setting. It was here that the first sailors arrived in Madeira in 1419. Surrounded by verdant mountains that slope gently down to the sea, it boasts a pebble beach and another with golden sand brought from Morocco (a rarity on the island). The marina and small pier add a cosmopolitan touch to this natural amphitheater carved between green and blue.

    Machico is a historic town in Madeira. In 1419, it was in its bay that Portuguese navigators landed.

    It also includes one of the only two sandy beaches on the island of Madeira. However, you should know that this sand was imported from Morocco.

    In trail, Machico is a major city of the island because it is here that all the races of the MIUT arrive.

    Running

    Many people use the beach/promenade for walking, as otherwise it goes straight uphill.
