The bay
of Machico has a very
nice beach and a couple of swimming pools to offer its visitors. Machicos beach
is located close to Madeira airport, but not to close, it has a restaurant and
bar, changing rooms, showers, football and volley ball practice area, pedal
boats, jet skis, sun beds, parasols, car park, lifeguards and a first aid
centre. It's a very good alternative to the beaches in Funchal, and
worth a visit if you are staying there.
