Highlights: The route explores the area around Ponta, passing through the Pico and Miradouro das Flores (a scenic viewpoint) and descending to Praia do Zimbralinho — a small, secluded pebble beach framed by dramatic cliffs, known for its crystal-clear waters that make it perfect for snorkelling and swimming. The contrast between the arid, golden landscape and the turquoise sea is one of Porto Santo's signature views.
This is a community route mapped on AllTrails — it is not part of Madeira's official PR trail network managed by IFCN (the regional government's forests and nature-conservation authority). That means it has no official open/closed status and no maintenance or signage guarantee. Check access and trail conditions locally before setting out, and be prepared for unmarked paths.
