Descripción
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 Serín Canario and small numbers of Bisbita Caminero. The area is one of the best places to find Gorrión Chillón. Other species that can be found here are Abubilla común, Gorrión Moruno, Perdiz Roja and Vencejo Unicolor. The shoreline is a good spot for Zarapito Trinador, Garceta Común and Vuelvepiedras Común.
Several viewing points provide a good overview of the Atlantic Ocean and species like Petrel de Bulwer and Pardela cenicienta. There have been claimed some observations of Paíño de Madeira and Petrel Freira near the shore of the peninsula, but those observations have been made from boats.
