A rebuilt clifftop garden on the rocky headland in the middle of Câmara de Lobos, with a lighthouse-shaped climbing structure and a view along the coast to Cabo Girão.

The council's own account of the finished works describes the new play structure, a green amphitheatre and a walkway round the headland. It is a headland, not a promenade: access stairways are part of the site and no step-free route is published, so a pushchair is a struggle. No dated review of the playground exists, so treat the condition and the age range as unchecked.

Worth knowing: Come for the viewpoint and take the playground as a bonus - twenty minutes on the way to or from the fishing harbour, not an afternoon on its own.

Getting there

Prices and opening times change without notice, and on this island they change often. Everything here carries the date it was checked in our research notes; if a place has moved or closed, tell us and we will fix it.
