A nice little pitstop before continuing on your West Coast best coast sunset drive! Ponta do Tristão, located at the northernmost point of Madeira, offers stunning views of rugged cliffs and crashing waves. This spot is not just pretty - it's got history too! It's linked to Tristão Vaz Teixeira, a noble knight who discovered Madeira for Portugal in the 1400s. Nearby attractions include swimming at the Porto Moniz pools, hiking the Levada dos Cedros trail, or marveling at the Véu da Noiva viewpoint.
