Beschreibung

Ponta de São Lourenço is the eastern most point of the island of Madeira and consists of a very rocky peninsula. The area is very dry, sandy and rocky compared to the road towards this part of the island, which leads though lush green forests. A walking trails leads to the Ponta do Furado peak at the end of the peninsula. On the northern side of the peninsula, rough waves crash against the steep cliffs, while on the other side clear blue and calm waters give you magnificent views across the area.

The peninsula is home to a low variety of birds, but for several species, this part of the island is the best place to be! Common birds that can be seen here are large flocks of Kanarengirlitz and small numbers of Kanarenpieper. The area is one of the best places to find Steinsperling. Other species that can be found here are Wiedehopf, Weidensperling, Rothuhn and Einfarbsegler. The shoreline is a good spot for Regenbrachvogel, Seidenreiher and Steinwälzer.

Several viewing points provide a good overview of the Atlantic Ocean and species like Bulwersturmvogel and Gelbschnabelsturmtaucher. There have been claimed some observations of Madeirawellenläufer and Madeirasturmvogel near the shore of the peninsula, but those observations have been made from boats.
