Miradouro do Ninho da Manta

Viewpoint 路 Madeira

At around 1,800 m on the PR1 trail, the Eagle's Nest viewpoint looks out over a sea of clouds. Golden hour here is unreal: orange and pink light over the jagged peaks.

Praia do Seixal

Beach 路 Madeira

Black sand beach on the north coast with green cliffs rising straight out of the water. Calm on good days and great for a swim after a hike.
