Ponta de São Lourenço's Natural Reserve

This is the most eastern peninsula of the island of Madeira, 9 km long and 2 km wide, including the two islands Ilhéu da Cevada and Ilhéu da Ponta de São Lourenço.
Ponta de São Lourenço's vegetation is very special and unique within ‘Macaronesia’, not because it is untouched but for the presence of important groups of endemic flora that are 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 here.

The Ponta de São Lourenço was declared a nature reserve in 1982 and later included in the European Union's Natura 2000 network under the Habitats Directive. It is part of the Parque Natural da Madeira and is one of the eight Important Bird Areas in the region.

Visit Instructions:

A log will require a recent photograph at the coordinates. Some of these locations will be placed for the scenery, so a gpsr will just ruin the picture.

If you don't have a digital camera post a descriptive log.
