From the viewpoint overlooking Praia da Laje, you can see the dark pebble beach framed by steep, green cliffs and the deep blue Atlantic Ocean. The surf rolls steadily onto the shore, creating a wild and romantic atmosphere along with the wind. It's an ideal spot for a quick photo stop and a moment to appreciate the rugged beauty of Madeira's north coast.

Bathing bay on Caminho Real No. 23.
First it goes far down to the bathing bay and then steeply up again :-)

The path leads down a wide, easy-to-walk stone path to the sea and into the bay. Great views of the coast and bay are offered along the way.
