Ponta de São Lourenço
Madeira, Portugal

Ponta de São Lourenço

Type: viewpoint

The easternmost cape of Madeira, known for its dry and windy landscape that differs significantly from the greener parts of the island. The circular trail PR8 leads along cliffs and rocky ridges with views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Desertas islands. Due to the almost complete lack of shade, it is recommended to bring enough water, sun protection, and appropriate hiking footwear.

Tickets

Entry: Free

Free access throughout the day, no ticket required. Comfortable footwear is recommended due to uneven terrain and windy conditions at the cape.

⛰️ Heads up: Hilly approach — the uphill section may add about 25 percent to the walking time to the attraction.
