View of Paul do Mar and Jardim do Mar

Highlight • Viewpoint

A place that does not benefit much from tourism - great walk up the steep, steep stairs.

Great round! The beginning is quite adventurous - especially the ascent on dry sandy soil quite slippery. Good shoe profile is advisable for this part. After the ascent, the entire route is relaxed along the Levada.

August 30, 2025,🇵🇹 Madeira_PR 19 Caminho Real do Paul do Mar <> PR 20 Vereda do Jardim do Mar

What a challenge 😅
Just my style 😁

Surefootedness is essential on the ascent and especially on the descent from the PR 20. It's quite slippery in places because water flows over the steps. But it's a really beautiful tour with great views.

September 24, 2025,Verbotene Wege. Wanderung zwischen Paul do Mar und Jardim do Mar

I'd been planning to hike between the two villages ever since my last stay in Madeira. I'd already seen the villages themselves. They're truly picturesque. They're connected by a 2.5km tunnel and, of course, by the PR 20 and PR 19. I'm not including the third option, which follows the cliffs, of course. Even if I knew the exact times …

June 5, 2025,Hike in the Water

This tour is only possible when the sea is calm and there are hardly any waves. You'll have to walk through waist-deep water for a 50-meter stretch. Pack water shoes and waterproof electronic devices.

January 25, 2022,Madeira - Jardim do Mar (Rundweg)

Our shortest and yet most strenuous hike of this holiday. At 1.8 km 560 meters in altitude, first downhill and later uphill again at another point. In between 2km by the sea only over scree. Not again 😎.

September 16, 2022,Über die Klippen von Jardim do Mar nach Paul do Mar

The climb has it all. We found it harder than to Pico Ruivo. You should only walk this path when it is dry. But the hardships are worth it. The view is simply stunning.

If you go on the tour, you should also make sure that it is not high tide, otherwise you will not get to Jardim do Mar …

May 21, 2023,Madeira - Steilküstenrunde Paul do Mar - Jardim do Mar

The weather was unpredictable today, after getting up there were clouds everywhere in Funchal and the weather forecast announced rain, especially for the north of the island.

So the decision was made for this tour in the south of the island.
This hike offers one of the few opportunities in Madeira to walk directly along the sea.
However, it should …

It is about 3 km from the urbanized area of Calheta and about 1 km from Fajã da Ovelha. Calheta …
