Cabo Girão is a sea cliff on the southern coast of Madeira with a vertical drop of approximately 580 metres, placing it among the highest sea cliffs in Europe. A glass-floored skywalk extends from the cliff edge, allowing visitors to look directly down the cliff face to the Atlantic and the terraced fields at its base maintained by the local community of Câmara de Lobos. The platform view on clear days extends east along the southern coast toward Funchal.
