Cascata dos Anjos

Cascata dos Anjos is a roadside waterfall on Madeira’s old coastal road near Ponta do Sol. Water spills directly onto the pavement and cliffs before reaching the sea, creating a dramatic drive-through experience when the road is open. It’s a quick, photogenic stop rather than a full hike: expect mist, slippery surfaces, and occasional traffic closures due to weather or rockfall. Best combined with a coastal drive or sunset in Ponta do Sol. Bring a rain jacket and protect electronics; parking is limited along the shoulder. Ideal for spontaneous photos and coastal scenery seekers.
