Machico - Ponta de sao LourencoLooking back
Ponta de São Lourenço's vegetation is very special and unique within Macronesia, not because it's unchanged, but for the presence of important groups that are virtually confined to this area.
Apart from the rich vegetation, this reserve is home to many bird species and even sea lions that can occasionally be seen. The northern and southern coasts differ very much from each other. The north coast is more dramatic and not easily accessible by boat because it is more exposed to the winds and rough sea. The south coast has seen less erosion and there exist numerous possibilities to reach the shore by boat.
