Câmara de Lobos

Câmara de Lobos is a picturesque fishing town located on Madeira’s south coast, just west of Funchal. Known for its colourful boats bobbing in the harbour and whitewashed houses climbing the hillsides, it beautifully captures the charm of the island. This town was once a favourite spot of Winston Churchill, who famously painted the harbour during his visit. Today, visitors come to enjoy fresh seafood, sip the local drink called poncha in traditional bars, and take in the stunning coastal views. Nearby attractions include Cabo Girão, one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs, which offers a dramatic glass-floored viewpoint. With its lively atmosphere and postcard-worthy scenery, Câmara de Lobos is a must-see destination for anyone exploring Madeira.
