Accessability

Porto Moniz boasts swift and comfortable accesses. The trip up to the north coast is an enjoyable one, where the green of the forest and the blue of the sea intertwine.

Coming from the north side (Funchal - Ribeira Brava - São Vicente - Porto Moniz), the first parish you will pass is Seixal, followed by Ribeira da Janela just before reaching the village of Porto Moniz.

If you opt for the western side (Funchal - Ribeira Brava - Calheta - Porto Moniz), the first parish you will encounter is Achadas da Cruz where you can ride the local cable car down to Fajã da Quebrada Nova, a Natura 2000 Network site.
