Teenagers Rescued By Locals And The Maritime Police

Few incidents have surfaced that display people (possibly unknowingly) neglecting the dangers of a rough sea and high waves at Praia Formosa, Funchal. JM-Madeira published a video that showed how a teenager was rescued and brought to shore by locals, while in the same scene, another individual required assistance.

Two Other Individuals Seeking A Thrill in Strong Currents

Another video posted by Diário de Notícias Madeira displays how two individuals are seeking a thrill in strong currents, in an area of the beach that has high waves and most notably very strong currents. Both individuals were able to get back to the shore by themselves. As in the other cases, it was not possible to determine if the people in question were tourists or residents.
