Formosa is located near the island’s capital, Funchal. This is a characteristic place because the sand on the beach is black.

The autonomous government of Madeira announced in the evening announcement that there were no casualties, but imposed a condition that rescue teams in the area conduct a search at night as well. Already firefighters are on site with the dogs. Large boulders that have fallen on the beach will also roam the beach.

Medical services quoted SIC TV as saying that three people, including a child, were injured when the escort collapsed. According to doctors, their lives are not in danger.

The landslide occurred in the evening near hotels located on Formosa Beach.

Miguel Albuquerque, the prime minister of the Madiran government, announced in the evening that he would close the amusement park on Formosa Beach. He said research on the causes of the landslide was ongoing and its status was checked in June this year.
