Praia Formosa is Madeira's longest beach, made of black volcanic sand and pebbles formed by the island's basalt geology. The coastline between Funchal and Câmara de Lobos sits on cliffs that drop sharply into water more than 1,000 metres deep — among the steepest seabed gradients in Europe. 🎧 ABOUT Sonic Solitude records immersive 4K walks across Europe — coastal paths, old towns, harboursides, and quiet mornings.
