Two benches, one view, and zero regrets

Two benches, one view, and zero regrets – this miradouro above Praínha is basically Madeira’s unofficial chill-out zone. BYO snacks and existential thoughts.

If you're cruising along the eastern coast of Madeira and blink—you might miss it. But don’t! Just above the black-sand beauty of Praínha lies a tiny miradouro with two benches and one big view. It’s the perfect pit stop to soak in the rugged coastline, spy on the ocean, and wonder why you ever needed a fancy café when you’ve got this natural VIP lounge.

There’s not much here—and that’s exactly the point. Peace, quiet, and panoramic Atlantic drama. Bring your camera, your sandwich, and your best "wow" face. Bonus: you’re just a hop away from Caniçal and the epic Ponta de São Lourenço.

Sometimes, finding the exact location of a viewpoint can be challenging, especially when it’s only accessible by off-road vehicles or hiking. That’s why we’ve included GPS coordinates to make it easier to reach.
