Porto Moniz, located at the northern tip of Madeira Island, is a municipality known for some of the region's most stunning scenery. With its towering mountains and serene ocean views, Porto Moniz captivates visitors with its charming parishes that are rich in tradition.

This area is heavily influenced by the botanical diversity of the Laurissilva Forest, which dramatically meets the powerful northern sea with its ridges, cliffs, and coves. The sea plays a vital role in Porto Moniz, shaping its history and economy, especially through fishing, which remains significant to this day. The town's deep connection to the sea is celebrated annually during 'Porto Moniz Sea Week,' the municipality's largest cultural, recreational, and sporting event, featuring activities like canoe races, fishing competitions, and food festivals.

No mention of Porto Moniz would be complete without highlighting its iconic natural pools formed in volcanic rocks, where crystal-clear waters are refreshed by the tides - an enduring symbol of the municipality.
