This is one of the most majestic sights I saw on this island paradise! Penha d'Aguia (Eagle Rock) is really impressive to see up close. It was even difficult to get all this in one photo. I need a better lens ;). I saw it after visiting a distillery in Porto da Cruz. Just a few meters away is this massive landscape! Porto da Cruz is located on the northeastern side of Madeira, definitely a picturesque part of the island! There was even some swimmers around where I took this picture. Everyone was having a good time there, either on the beach of walking along the pier :). There was other awesome views to the other side, as well. Incredible cliffs that seem to go on forever. And it was even foggy on that side, a big contrast to what you see here. I also think I saw Eagle Rock from another side, as well. And would love to return and see more views of it!!](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182232/465c1af4-82f3-43b0-9870-965a004974e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Porto da Cruz - Madeira Island 🏖 World's Leading Island Destination 2016 🏖 Europe's Leading Island Destination 2016 🏖 World's Leading Island Destination 2015 🏖 Europe's Leading Island Destination 2014 🏖 Europe's Leading Island Destination 2013](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182232/6a47d956-ca0c-4858-8862-93ff512c7c83.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Porto da Cruz - Madeira Island 🏖 Europe's Leading Island Destination 2016 🏖 World's Leading Island Destination 2015 🏖 Europe's Leading Island Destination 2014 🏖 Europe's Leading Island Destination 2013](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182232/835aee8f-cefd-4908-b622-b005ad6c3a04.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Porto da Cruz - Madeira Island 🏖 Europe's Leading Island Destination 2016 🏖 World's Leading Island Destination 2015 🏖 Europe's Leading Island Destination 2014 🏖 Europe's Leading Island Destination 2013](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182232/b1f698ac-a6bc-4524-9646-728bc2867e18.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ### Porto da Cruz Attractions There are opportunities for fun all around Porto da Cruz.
