This headland on the island\u2019s south coast offers striking sea views, rugged cliffs, and a sense of calm you won\u2019t always find in busier areas. It\u2019s not just about standing at the edge of the land and looking out, though. Ponta da Oliveira is a destination where you can swim, walk, and take in some of the island\u2019s best scenery without having to trek for hours.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4424935f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4424935f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1db28bd9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"1db28bd9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;headings_by_tags&quot;:[&quot;h2&quot;],&quot;exclude_headings_by_selector&quot;:[],&quot;marker_view&quot;:&quot;bullets&quot;,&quot;icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;no_headings_message&quot;:&quot;No headings were found on this page.&quot;,&quot;hierarchical_view&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;min_height&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"table-of-contents.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header-title\">\n\t\t\t\tTable of Contents\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-toc__1db28bd9\" class=\"elementor-toc__body\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__spinner-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"elementor-toc__spinner eicon-animation-spin e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-loading\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M500 975V858C696 858 858 696 858 500S696 142 500 142 142 304 142 500H25C25 237 238 25 500 25S975 237 975 500 763 975 500 975Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b21d377 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4b21d377\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b68869b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b68869b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Where is Ponta da Oliveira?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5205a2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5205a2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ponta da Oliveira is in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/category\/canico\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cani\u00e7o<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, just east of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/category\/funchal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Funchal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. From the capital, it\u2019s about a 15-minute drive along the VR1 motorway, and the airport is even closer (roughly ten minutes away). If you\u2019re staying in Cani\u00e7o or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/canico-de-baixo\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cani\u00e7o de Baixo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can easily reach the headland on foot.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those relying on public transport, buses run regularly between Funchal and Cani\u00e7o with companies like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/siga.madeira.gov.pt\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SIGA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Routes 155 and 157 are the most useful if you want to get close to the viewpoint. From the bus stop, it\u2019s a short walk downhill towards the coast. Driving is more straightforward if you prefer flexibility, but parking near the headland is limited, so go early or outside peak times.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4555aab elementor-widget elementor-widget-google_maps\" data-id=\"4555aab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"google_maps.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-custom-embed\">\n\t\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=%20Ponta%20da%20Oliveira%20townhall&#038;t=m&#038;z=12&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\" Ponta da Oliveira townhall\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-label=\" Ponta da Oliveira townhall\"\n\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-552d1ab e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"552d1ab\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e50ec7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2e50ec7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What to see and do\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cce182 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6cce182\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main draw here is the Ponta da Oliveira viewpoint. From the edge of the cliff, you get a panoramic sweep of the Atlantic and a clear look back towards Funchal\u2019s coastline to the west. You\u2019ll also notice the famous <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/cristo-rei-madeira\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cristo Rei statue<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and viewpoint about 2 km away in the same direction. It\u2019s particularly good in the early morning for sunrise or late evening for sunset.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The area is also known for its volcanic rock formations and coastal paths. You can stroll along paved walkways around the hotels and gardens, or follow smaller trails leading to the shoreline. One spot worth seeking out is the Jardim dos Sentidos (Sensory Garden), a small but beautifully kept sensory garden just inland from the headland. It\u2019s designed to engage all five senses, with fragrant plants, textured paths, and quiet corners for reflection. It\u2019s free to enter and often overlooked, making it a peaceful counterpoint to the busy swimming areas.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c98e308 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c98e308\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Visit-Ponta-da-Oliveira-1024x605.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4705\" alt=\"Visit-Ponta-da-Oliveira\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Visit-Ponta-da-Oliveira-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Visit-Ponta-da-Oliveira-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Visit-Ponta-da-Oliveira-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Visit-Ponta-da-Oliveira.jpg 1390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a51d62 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0a51d62\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab6d23a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ab6d23a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Swimming, views and walking routes\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1431476 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1431476\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re planning a stop at Ponta da Oliveira, the good news is you can combine it with a dip in the Atlantic. The rocky platforms nearby have been adapted into access points for swimmers, and Reis Magos Beach is only a short stroll away with its mix of pebbles, clear waters, and handy facilities. It\u2019s a safe and popular spot for snorkelling too, thanks to the calm conditions on the south coast. The surrounding hotels also offer access to their Lidos if you\u2019d prefer a more relaxing swim and sunbathe. Entry costs, however, do apply.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ponta da Oliveira viewpoint itself is best known for its sweeping coastal views. On a clear day you can see along the cliffs in both directions, with the ocean stretching endlessly out in front of you. The sunsets here can be striking, so it\u2019s worth timing your visit for late afternoon if you can.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking-wise, there\u2019s the Promenade dos Reis Magos, a paved coastal path that links Reis Magos Beach with the lower part of Cani\u00e7o de Baixo. It\u2019s a pleasant, flat stroll with benches and landscaped stretches, perfect for an easy walk with constant sea views. If you\u2019re after something longer, you can continue inland and connect with other local walking trails, but the promenade itself is more about relaxation than endurance. It\u2019s popular with locals for morning jogs or evening walks before dinner, and it\u2019s a great way to enjoy the coast without tackling anything too strenuous.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2defc13 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2defc13\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a8f58c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5a8f58c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tips for your visit\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b978bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b978bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go early in the morning or later in the afternoon if you want the headland to yourself. Midday can be busier with hotel guests heading to the water. Take water shoes if you plan on swimming, as the rocks can be slippery and sharp.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring a snorkel set if you have one. The waters around Ponta da Oliveira are surprisingly rich in fish due to the volcanic rock , and visibility is often excellent. If you\u2019re walking the coastal paths, wear comfortable shoes. The promenades are easy going, but some of the side trails are uneven.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, don\u2019t just dash in and out. The caf\u00e9s and small restaurants around Cani\u00e7o and Cani\u00e7o de Baixo are worth a stop, especially if you like fresh seafood.
