South-coast resort cluster 8 km east of Funchal. Caniço de Baixo and Garajau sit in the same warm, dry sun-trap as Funchal — sheltered from north-east trade winds by the island's spine. Sea breeze picks up after noon. Most visitors never realise this is Santa Cruz council.

East-end bay near the airport. Sheltered cove, often a few degrees cooler than Funchal and noticeably windier — the FNC crosswind comes from these hills.

Coastal town hosting FNC airport. Sheltered enough for the runway, but expect rotor turbulence on the cliff face when wind is from the north.
