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.

On Caminho Real No. 23, you can enjoy sweeping views of the dramatic cliffs and the deep blue Atlantic Ocean. This historic path runs high above the sea, allowing you to experience the island's ancient connecting route from a front-row seat. Numerous small viewpoints invite you to stop, take photos, and watch the spray cascading from the cliffs below.

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 😋

View of the Ruins of São Jorge

From the viewpoint overlooking the ruins of São Jorge, you can see the crumbling walls and overgrown stone remnants towering above the north coast. Between the ancient ruins, the panorama repeatedly opens up to reveal the Atlantic Ocean, the steep, green slopes, and the terraced fields. It's an atmospheric spot for a short break, to take photos, and to let the connection between history and the sea wash over you.
