That 4.3 out of 5 average from 512 reviews reflects a viewpoint that has drawn steady attention from visitors.

Its position on Madeira places it on the southern side of the island.
The viewpoint category means visitors come for the views rather than for a service counter. Daylight hours are the sensible window for a visit, since the outlook is the whole point of the stop. A stop here pairs naturally with time in Funchal, the island's main town.
Sea temperatures stay warm enough for swimming through much of the year, though the water remains cooler than in the Mediterranean. Rain falls mainly in the winter half of the year on Madeira, while the southern side of the island is drier overall. Portuguese navigators settled the islands in the fifteenth century, and they later served as Atlantic trading and whaling stations. Music and dance remain central to island life, from morna and coladeira to Azorean folk songs.
