Praia das Palmeiras Kitefoil Forecast

Santa Cruz · Portugal

Praia das Palmeiras scores 97/100 for kitefoil today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SE. A managed urban bathing complex in Santa Cruz, Madeira, combining a pebble beach with a pontoon sea entry and two seawater pools. A calm, sheltered family swimming spot rather than a surf or watersports venue; pedal boats are the main activity. As of July 2026 there is an active bathing ban from detected sewage contamination, despite long-standing Blue Flag status. Lifeguards are on duty June-September, 09:00-19:00, with a first-aid station on site.
