The Coast

Surrounded by the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, the coastline of Madeira beckons with its dramatic cliffs, picturesque beaches, and breathtaking seascapes. If you're seeking an unforgettable outdoor adventure, look no further than Madeira's coast and shoreline. With its diverse landscapes, thrilling activities, and hidden gems, this destination offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for your holiday.

Madeira's coast is a paradise for beach lovers. Visit the golden sands of Calheta Beach, where you can soak up the sun, take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters, or indulge in water sports such as paddleboarding and kayaking. For a more secluded experience, head to Prainha de Caniçal, a hidden gem nestled between cliffs and surrounded by natural beauty.

The volcanic origins of Madeira have created awe-inspiring cliffs that tower above the Atlantic Ocean. The dramatic Cabo Girão, one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, offers breathtaking panoramic views and a glass skywalk for the daring. Stand on the transparent platform and feel the thrill as you gaze down at the deep blue waters below.

To experience the island's stunning seascapes up close, consider embarking on a boat tour along the coast. Cruise alongside towering cliffs, venture into hidden caves, and witness the rugged beauty of Madeira's shoreline from a different perspective. Keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins and majestic whales that often grace these waters.

Adventure seekers can explore the coast through exhilarating activities such as coasteering. Jump off cliffs, swim through natural pools, and traverse rugged terrain, guided by experienced professionals. This adrenaline-filled activity allows you to discover hidden coves, secret beaches, and secluded spots that can only be accessed from the sea.

For a more leisurely experience, take a scenic coastal hike along Madeira's many trails. The iconic Ponta de São Lourenço offers a mesmerizing landscape of volcanic rock formations, colorful flora, and panoramic vistas. Follow the path as it winds along the coast, and feel a sense of tranquility as you immerse yourself in the raw beauty of nature.

Madeira's coast is also known for its charming fishing villages.
