This area is also known for having the best beach complexes in Funchal, so if maybe a swim can be an option when visiting this location.

The Doca do Cavacas complex is situated just a few meters away from Formosa´s beach, one of the most attended beaches on the entire island.
This small and delightful area is great not only for sunbathing and taking a dip in the fresh volcanic pools, but also to take some remarkable shots of this spot.

After a quick pit stop at “Doca do Cavacas” the trip will continue its course towards the famous fishing village, in Câmara de Lobos town.
This town gave home to Madeira´s discoverer, João Gonçalves Zarco, from 1420 until 1424.
A fishing village that can be found just 5km outside east of Funchal and offers several places that make the best “Poncha”, a famous Madeiran beverage.
A city is greatly known for its fishing port, where fishermen normally fish at night. The scabbard is the most caught and enjoyed fish here.
This fish has evolved into a peculiar appearance with big eyes, long snouts, and fang teeth, due to the fact that his habitat is 1,500 m below the surface.
An amazing historical fact about this town is that back in the year 1950, Winston Churchill arrived with his wife, and eldest daughter, and stayed here for a while.
Having felt inspired by this lovely fishing town, Churchill painted the town, and can now be found in the city for anyone to enjoy.
