Seixal Terraced Valley & Sea Arch
OnlineA sweeping aerial view over Seixal, a picturesque village terraced into the steep green amphitheatre of Madeira's north coast. Whitewashed, red-roofed houses climb the cultivated poios above the ocean, while the Atlantic surges through a dramatic natural sea arch at the tip of the headland below.

Everything you need to know about this live stream
A Village Carved into the Cliffs
Seixal clings to a green promontory on the rugged northern shore of Madeira, its houses scattered across a terraced valley that rises steeply from the Atlantic. The poios — the island's ancient agricultural terraces — stitch the slopes with vines and gardens.
The Natural Sea Arch
At the foot of the headland the ocean carves through a striking natural rock arch, where swells break against the volcanic stone. The village is famed for its nearby black-sand cove and its emerald-water natural pools.
Laurel Forest Amphitheatre
Behind the village, the mountains rise in a vast amphitheatre of laurisilva — the UNESCO-listed laurel forest that cloaks Madeira's peaks. Waterfalls thread the ridges after the frequent Atlantic drizzle that keeps the slopes intensely green.
Exploring the North Coast
Seixal sits along one of Madeira's most scenic coastal drives, linking Porto Moniz and São Vicente. It is a gateway to coastal walks, levada trails and viewpoints over some of the island's most spectacular Atlantic scenery.
