Madeira Island, Portugal

Madeira beach live cams

These cameras are on Madeira Island, Portugal. They are not Madeira Beach, Florida.

A calm picture is not a bathing permit. Lifeguards and the maritime flags decide whether you swim. If Funchal is grey, look at Calheta before you cancel the beach. If the north is white, do not treat Porto Moniz as a pool day.

A sunny beach is not a clear ridge. Webcam Pico do Areeiro

South coast

The lee of the central ridge. Calheta holds imported sand behind breakwaters. Câmara de Lobos is a fishing bay.
