Ponta de São Lourenço
The dramatic eastern peninsula of Madeira — a coastal cliff walk unlike the levada interior.
RecommendedA strong, worthwhile addition.
The contrast to Madeira's green interior — dry, golden, and dramatic. Go in the morning.

Why go
The red-and-gold cliffs, the sea stacks, and the bare landscape are a complete change from the laurel forests inland. The trail is exposed and partly rocky; bring water and sun cover.
