North Coast

The north coast of Madeira is characterised by its spectacular, verdant landscapes overlooking the deep blue sea.
Because the nature of the beaches, with their basalt pebbles smoothed by the sea, some places have developed convenient, practical facilities for easier access to the ocean.

Porto Moniz

Porto Moniz seems to have fallen from above into the northern sea and has long been famous for its natural swimming pools and its pure, beautiful scenery.
The swimming pools at Porto Moniz, a delight to all visitors, surround large and small rocks nestling in the sea.
Take a moment to enjoy some of the fish and shellfish of the north coast, and don’t forget to try the grilled limpets!
