Dozens of bathers disregard signs and pass ‘barriers’ at Praia Formosa

Due to the rising tide, access to the beach in Praia Formosa and Praia Nova, as well as the public seafront promenade between Formosa and Socorris were temporarily closed.

Neither the new signage nor the metal barriers installed there prevent bathers from violating the rules and ‘going for a bath’, at Praia Formosa, in Funchal.

There are dozens, in fact, as the images captured at the scene show, ignored the warnings posted by the MarFunchal Front.

The company responsible for managing the municipality’s bathing complexes, beaches and public promenade recently closed access to the beaches in Praia Formosa and Praia Nova (extension of ‘Formosa’), as a precautionary measure due to breaking waves.
