From the Madeira World / Places

Paul do Mar

This west-coast fishing village sits between high cliffs and a pebble shore. Its harbour and old industrial traces reward a slow look more than a conventional beach day.

Why go

Paul do Mar gives you a close view of Madeira's fishing coast: boats beside the harbour, a stony waterfront and cliffs immediately behind the settlement. The chimney of a former tuna-canning factory adds a reminder that the shore has long been a working place, not only a scenic one.

What to look for

  • Fishing boats and the harbour at the village's edge
  • The pebble shore beneath steep cliffs
  • The chimney of the former tuna-canning factory

Useful to know

  • Walk from the harbour along the waterfront to take in the village's setting.
  • Treat the pebble shore as a place to observe the coast, rather than assuming it offers a sandy swim stop.
