Ponta do Pargo, one of the westernmost places on the island of Madeira. Here you will find a lighthouse and a lookout point that together offer an unforgettable travel experience. We saw the pinkest sunset here. The white lighthouse with its red roof throws in some beautiful reflections, making it a truly awesome spectacle. People come to the lookout to watch the sunset and relax. There are a few benches here, but a lot of people sit on blankets or smaller rocks. From the viewpoint you will have the natural beauty of “European Hawaii” as Madeira is sometimes called. Rocks, cacti, exotic vegetation and the endless blue of the ocean. If you have time, be sure to take a walk around the area. There are agricultural pastures and beautiful cliffs, sloping steeply into the ocean. It felt like the great Hobbit in places.
The best way to get here is by rental car. Ponta do Pargo is located on the island’s ring road, about 51 km from Funchal. However, for those without a car, bus transport is also available. Buses from Funchal and the towns along the route (Calheta, Ponta do Sol, Ribeira Brava) go to Ponta do Pargo 8 times a day on weekdays and 2-3 services run at weekends.
