Waves force red flag to be raised at Praia Formosa

dnoticias.pt1 September 2026 at 16:40

A wave caught swimmers off guard this afternoon at the Barreirinha Bathing Complex. A wave breached the pier and flooded the area where several people were standing, forcing them to quickly seek higher ground away from the water's reach. The incident highlights the unpredictability of waves that, in recent days, have required reinforced safety measures in Funchal's beach areas. This Tuesday, the red flag was raised at Praia Formosa.
