Discover a different side of Madeira on the Ponta de São Lourenço walk, a coastal trail set on the island’s eastern tip. Unlike the forested interior, this route showcases a dry, volcanic landscape shaped by wind and sea. Walk along narrow paths between cliffs and ocean, with striking views of both the north and south coasts. The trail is moderate and accessible, offering a mix of open space, dramatic rock formations and vibrant colors from land and sea. At the end, there’s a chance to rest at the Casa do Sardinha and, depending on conditions, take a refreshing swim. A scenic walk that reveals the raw, untouched beauty of Madeira’s coastline.
