Baía de Câmara de Lobos

A stunning scenic location on Madeira with a marvellous lookout point.Went there as part of another island mini bus day trip from Funchal.
The views are breathtaking.Only problem is you don't get a lot of Time on the bus trips tight itinerary, so get snapping quickly with your camera.

Great wee village to visit. There are working fishing boats in the harbour and fishermen in the bars. There is a pay and display carpark next to the harbour. All around the village, there are murals painted. There are plenty of shops and bars to visit. There is a nice viewpoint above the village, but it's a very steep walk up to it. There is a local indoor market where you can purchase local goods.

This is a little bay, with charming waterfront bars and restaurants. It was a favorite haunt of Winston Churchill. He stayed and painted here many years in a row. This was our third trip here- food is incredible, very reasonably priced, and you get a nice drive on the way from the port. The hop-on/off buses stop here- make sure you climb down the mountain and drink a *poncha*, (the local rum punch if you will) but remember you have to climb back UP to catch the bus!! Taxis from the ship are about 25 Euros ( 20 minute drive) each way- a great day trip off the ship for less than 50 Euros/,pair- with a gourmet lunch, drinks etc- we spent 75 €/couple!!

Well worth a visit. You could send anything between half a day to a day here. A bus does run from Funchal. There is a range of restaurants, cafes and bars here. The streets are displayed with different art work that uses recycled materials like plastic. This place is where Churchill spend a number of days on holiday. There is parking available next to the harbour. In the harbour there is a number of colourful boats.

Beautiful little harbour lots of little taverna's around the waterfront fishing boats all up on the shore when we visited we caught the local bus number 5 from the city centre and walk the last bit as the bus did not go down to the marina the hop on hop off bus did but was a lot more expensive

My favourite place in Madeira! Stunning. You must go. Beautiful little streets and a quaint fishing harbour. Watch the world go by at one of the eateries and soak up the beauty.

Can't say much without bias, seeing as both sides of my family are from here (going back centuries). I'm honest enough to say that it's not the first place a tourist might go but if you're keen on history and wish to learn, do this before visiting and you'll have a wonderful visit.

The place has modernised greatly in the last few decades and continues to have much potential ahead. Hotels, bars and all sorts surround the main town by the bay. It is a fishermans village and Winstom Churchill's most favourite painting spot.

It was very beautiful and more traditional than Funchal is nowadays. You can get the No 1 Rodoeste bus back to Funchal from the upper part of town.

A nice place with some cafes and restaurants to visit for a small walk.

A lovely fishing village. Recommend Churchills restaurant for black scabbard picado and bar seven seas for other traditional foods. Poncha is very popular in the main street too. Quite a charming place for photos but also a magnet for beggars and addicts.. As confirmed by local tour guides.

Beautiful traditional fishing. Very picturesque. Plenty of good restaurants and cafes and most are reasonably priced.

Loved it. Reminded me of Cornwall back in the UK. Pretty place with character.

That was Winston Churchill's beloved place on Madeira and he spent quite some time there painting. However, this fishing village is located in a bay and it's very picturesque with very colourful fishing boats. There are plenty of bars and restaurants with excellent drinks and food. Allegedly you can get there the best local poncha drink there.

Very helpful 👌 ☺ friendly people wonderful views worth the effort banana plantations all the way up the mountains and the dramatic cliffs Winston churchhill favorite place

Our guide Ricky took us to this beautiful little fishing village great little stop with loads of lovely people

We only had a short time here but what a beautiful place! We hope to visit again!

a beautiful little fishing town , we went on the red tour bus and spent a couple of hours there , very picturesque , plenty of places to eat and drink , hopefully to see the rare monk seals .

Visited this fishing village a couple of times as one of the stops on the hopon/ off tourist bus. Lovely setting for a walk around the bay. Also several shops, cafes, and restaurants.

Small fishing village which I previously passed by on a scooter back in Feb. I took a nice stroll this morning from Funchal where I am staying this time and had the most amazing walk along the coastline.

Great view from the top of the village and looking down at the colourful fishing boats. There are restaurants and cafes in the village which look very touristy to me so I didn't visit any of them. There is construction work going on in the area and a fair bit of noises in my opinion. So I walked down to the end of the port and read my book whilst watching the local fish man dock the boat etc. There are souvenir shops in the area as well. Parking spaces are available but it gets filled up fairly quickly. Ride a scooter and this is the best way to get around in Funchal. 😎

Beautiful little village. All of the decorations are made from recycled material. Lids of bottles, bottles, newspapers etc.. Very well done.
