Coastline of Madeira Photo Gallery

The village of Porto do Moniz is located on the tip of Madeira's north coast. It is about 75km from Funchal and the recent road-building program means that is now more easily accessible. It is a popular and regular stop on West of Madeira tours. Often, on these tours, lunch is taken in the seafront restaurant. Indeed, for a small village, there is a good choice of restaurants and cafes. Some specialise in sea-food, which is not surprising as one of the main sources of income here is gained from fishing. For those wishing to prolong their stay and explore the attractive, surrounding coastline, there is a waterfront hotel.
