View of Madeira's cliffs and coastline

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the viewpoint overlooking Madeira's cliffs and coastline, a sweeping panorama unfolds before you, revealing steep rock faces and the deep blue Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day, you can trace the coastline for miles around, while the surf and spray crashing against the cliffs below create a dramatic backdrop. It's the perfect spot for a short break, a few photos, and a moment to absorb the vastness and power of the island's coastline.

Beautiful views of the Atlantic and wonderful hiking trails in the area. Be sure to grab a bite to eat at Café Cabo Aéreo at the top of the mountain. The meat on the laurel skewer is world class 😋
