There's a fork in the path here, which makes for a great circular walk.

There's also an information board with explanations about Ponta São Lorenço.

The beautiful panoramic path leads directly to the highest vantage point at the easternmost tip of the island.

At this intersection you can make a circular tour... one way there, the other way back

At this junction on the PR8 trail, the path splits: one leads to Cais do Sardinha, the boat landing at the eastern end of the peninsula, and the other to Casa do Sardinha, the small ranger station and refreshment stop. Both paths lead through the impressive volcanic landscape of Ponta de São Lourenço and offer fantastic views of the sea and cliffs. This is an important landmark before you decide on the final leg of your route.

Great hiking trail to Madeira's easternmost viewpoint. Great views of Madeira and the coast along the way. Recommended in sunny weather. Not a walk, but a hike that shouldn't be underestimated. Since 2024, there's a €3 entrance fee. Restrooms at the starting point (Dixie) and at the 'Oasis'.

A very worthwhile hike through an impressive landscape with remarkable cliffs. However, the route is a bit of a challenge overall.
