Cais Interior a Oeste do cais Norte

This anchorage sits on the western side of Machico's north quay, tucking you into the natural shelter of one of Madeira's oldest settlements. The setting is quietly dramatic — cliffs frame the bay, and from the water you get a clear view of the historic town, with its 15th-century church and the remains of an old coastal fort up on the headland. You're well-placed to row ashore and explore Machico's centre, which is compact and genuinely characterful.
