Viewpoint of Ponta do Rosto

Ponta do Rosto Viewpoint – Two Coasts, One Epic Spot
Ever wanted to see the north and south coast of Madeira at the same time? Boom – Miradouro da Ponta do Rosto makes it happen. Perched on the edge of the São Lourenço Peninsula (yes, the one that looks like it was made for epic drone shots), this place gives you cliff drama, Atlantic attitude, and wide-open skies.

Here, the landscape flips the Madeira script:
🌿 No lush green forests, just low vegetation and bold, raw terrain
🌬️ Thanks to those cheeky north winds, there’s not a tree in sight – just sweeping views and rugged beauty
🪶 Home to one of Madeira’s biggest seagull colonies, plus protected seabirds like the Cory’s shearwater (aka “cagarra”) and the Bulwer’s petrel (“alma-negra”)
👀 And on clear days? You can even spot Porto Santo in the distance – yes, it’s real and no, you’re not hallucinating

So bring your camera, let your hair go wild, and let nature remind you who’s boss.
