Perching precariously on a ledge under high cliffs, pretty Paúl do Mar is the surfing capital of the Atlantic and has even hosted a leg of the World Surfing Championships. Its narrow lanes are a joy to explore, with their pretty cottages and flowerpots. Rodoeste buses 80, 115 and a couple of obscure services make the run here from Funchal.
