Miradouro Farol da Ponta do Pargo

We went to this place in Nov 2024 — it was a very beautiful place with such stunning scenery all around - it was heavenly - so serene! Parking was easily available and there was a food van serving ice cream which was a good add on! Definitely worth a visit.

The sun was shining and the view was just amazing! I wish we had something to eat and would have stayed for hours! Only stayed outside, did not go inside the museum! Maybe next time!

Simply an amazing view! If you have a car, I recommend you to drive over here. The view over the ocean is fantastic and you can have little walks around the lighthouse. The lighthouse is closed, but you can walk around.

The perfect place to admire the island's sunsets. There is a cliff next to the latari, be careful on the sand. The lighthouse itself is turned on just after sunset. It's worth staying a while longer to see it. There is parking for several cars on site.

Nice overlook. Plenty of parking. The views are amazing. The lighthouse itself is not open for visitors. There are no gift shops or bathrooms or anything.

Perfect views without actually any hike. You can just park your car behind the lighthouse.

The Miradouro do Farol da Ponta do Pargo is a breathtaking viewpoint located at the westernmost point of Madeira, Portugal. This stunning lookout offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline, making it a perfect spot for photography and enjoying the natural beauty of the island. The viewpoint is situated near the Ponta do Pargo Lighthouse, which was built in the early 20th century and adds a historical touch to the scenic landscape. Visitors can admire the dramatic cliffs, lush greenery, and the serene blue waters of the ocean, especially during sunset when the sky transforms into a vibrant palette of colors. The area is also great for hiking and exploring the surrounding nature, providing various trails that lead to even more spectacular views. Whether you’re looking to relax and soak in the scenery or embark on an adventure, the Miradouro do Farol da Ponta do Pargo is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Madeira.

Nice place to watch a sunset (we did in May 2023), just make sure to "reserve" a spot if you want to sit on the cliff. I would recommend doing it after an afternoon hike in the "Levada Pedregal - Ponta do Pargo".
