Ponta de Sao Lourenco

Reviewed By robertmC6829LO

Really enjoyed the walk across to end of the headland. Rock formation is fascinating. Great views. Dolphins seen in the bay. Tip - the excellent path is rough in places and I would recommend wearing good trainers or walking boots to support your feet.

Levada do Castelejo

Reviewed By funq1

This is relatively straightforward to get to by bus. This is a lovely walk up and down a valley. The walk is relatively easy to do. The views are great across the valley and so out to sea. At the end of the walk up the valley the path meets the river and it is a great place for a picnic before the return journey along the path.

Miradouro da Portela

Reviewed By AlexMa1981 - Aberdeen, United Kingdom

We stopped on our way between Machico and Porto da Cruz, definitely worth the visit for the stunning views! We also had fab lunch there. Easy car park and not much walking involved. The clouds and fog just fly by 100times a minute, one can just stare and admire the view.

Praia de Machico

Reviewed By ryanhB2829NG - Selsey, United Kingdom

Beautiful beach, great location within the bay so the tide isn’t too rough to swim like in other parts of the island.
