Praia da Enseada (Jardim do Mar)

🏘️ Calheta · Jardim do Mar

Jardim do Mar's other beach, one of the island's most famous among surf lovers: pebbles, free access, and a swell powerful enough to be reserved for advanced surfers — hence the national and international contests held here regularly. Around it, the village's low houses and narrow streets, and the majestic fajã closed off by the cliffs. Not an official bathing water in 2026: no lifeguard service is guaranteed; follow the notices on site and the flags.
