Why these live webcams matter

WebcamMadeira.com curates HD cameras across multiple regions of Madeira so you can plan hikes, surf sessions, and sunset strolls with confidence. Availability varies; status indicators show online/offline for each stream.

Because the island contains dozens of microclimates, a single forecast rarely reflects local reality. Compare north and south coast feeds, check if levada trails are above the cloud line, and see harbour traffic before you drive down to the waterfront.

The project is powered entirely by privacy-respecting technology: no invasive trackers, no autoplay surprises, and no paywalls—just fast, secure access to the best viewpoints on the island.

Quick ways to use the streams every day

Bookmark the locations you visit most so you can check sea state or cloud cover within seconds.
Keep the mobile site open while you explore—refresh before leaving a viewpoint so you always chase the best weather.
Share the streams with friends or guests so everyone travels with the same, up-to-date information.

Frequently asked questions

What can I see on these webcams?: Our Madeira webcams stream live views of beaches, mountain summits, harbour districts, surf breaks, forest trails, and real-time weather across the island. You can follow the Funchal waterfront, the natural pools at Porto Moniz, the black-sand beach in Seixal, Pico do Areeiro, and dozens of other viewpoints as conditions change.
When is the best time to visit Madeira?: Madeira enjoys mild subtropical weather all year. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) bring clear skies and lighter crowds, summer is sunny and warm for swimming, and winter stays pleasant with occasional rain and excellent whale watching. Use the webcams to choose the microclimate that fits your plans.
How can I check the water temperature at Madeira beaches?: Open the coastal webcams to see sea state and the number of swimmers. Sea temperatures range from about 18 °C in winter to 24 °C in summer; combine the live images with local bulletins if you need exact readings or safety flags before heading into the water.
Where can I watch live images of Madeira Island?: WebcamMadeira.com hosts HD livestreams from Funchal, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Calheta, Paul da Serra, Santana, and many other highlights. Each feed refreshes automatically throughout the day so you can check conditions at any moment.
What activities can I do in Madeira?: Madeira offers levada hikes, mountain viewpoints, surfing, canyoning, whale and dolphin tours, natural pools, cable cars, food markets, and wine tasting. Confirm weather, sea state, and visibility with the webcams before setting off.
How can I watch Madeira Airport live?: Visit the Santa Cruz and runway spotting webcams to follow operations at Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo Airport (LPMA). You can watch arrivals, departures, and apron weather in real time.
Which city is best to stay in Madeira?: Funchal is the capital and most convenient base, offering museums, restaurants, markets, and ferry connections. Use the city webcams to compare neighbourhoods such as the Old Town, the Lido, and the harbourfront before you book accommodation.
Can I monitor surfing conditions in Madeira?: Yes. The surf webcams in Jardim do Mar, Paul do Mar, Ponta Pequena, and Seixal show wave size, wind direction, tides, and crowd levels so you can pick the best break before driving.
How do I know if a webcam is currently live?: Each webcam card displays a live or offline badge plus the time of the latest refresh. If a stream pauses, backup feeds usually restore it within minutes and the badge indicates when a camera is temporarily unavailable.
What is the weather like in Madeira right now?: Because Madeira has many microclimates, the south coast can be sunny whilst the north is misty. Open mountain, north coast, and south coast webcams to compare conditions in real time before you choose your route.
Can I use these webcams to plan my holiday?: Absolutely. Travellers monitor the webcams for several days to understand cloud movement, sea state, and visitor flow. Combine the live views with your itinerary to decide the best mornings for hikes, sightseeing, or relaxed afternoons.
Are the webcam streams free to watch?: Yes. Every webcam on WebcamMadeira.com is free to view. Lightweight analytics and advertising keep the platform running, so you can access more than 50 locations without subscriptions or paywalls.
How often do the webcams update?: Streaming cameras deliver continuous video. Timelapse webcams refresh roughly every 30 seconds to five minutes depending on the location; the timestamp beneath each feed shows the most recent update.
Which webcams show the best sunsets?: Check west-facing webcams in Ponta do Sol, Calheta, Câmara de Lobos, and Funchal harbour for colour at dusk. Mountain cameras on Pico do Areeiro also capture soft evening light when conditions are clear.
Can I see dolphins or whales on the webcams?: Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but south coast and harbour webcams occasionally capture dolphins or pilot whales, especially between April and October. For close encounters, book a certified boat tour.
What should I know about driving on Madeira?: Expect steep gradients, narrow coastal sections, and tunnels. Use mountain and inland webcams to confirm visibility, wind, and rain before crossing passes such as Encumeada or driving up to Pico do Areeiro.
How accurate are the webcams for planning hikes?: Mountain webcams provide real-time visibility of cloud ceilings, wind, and trail conditions, making them reliable for levada walks and summit hikes. Check them one to two hours before departure and again right before you leave.
Do the webcams work at night?: Urban webcams with artificial lighting—Funchal marina, Avenida Arriaga, the Calheta promenade—remain useful after dark. Natural landscape cameras become dark after sunset, though some offer low-light still frames.
Can I embed these webcams on my website?: Please link to the webcam pages instead of embedding the streams directly. Providers such as YouTube, BeachCam, and municipal networks require their own licences; linking preserves quality, uptime, and attribution.
