What you're looking at
The camera looks south over Ribeira Brava, where a broad valley meets the sea on the south-west coast. In frame are the pebble beach, the seafront promenade with its cafés, the small fort and the white bell tower of the São Bento church, one of the oldest on the island. Steep valley walls close in on either side, and the coast road and tunnels that connect Funchal to the west run across the shot.
Best time to check this camera
This is the halfway camera. Because Ribeira Brava sits between Funchal and the western end of the island, it tells you whether the weather that is grey in the city extends west or is only local. If this frame is bright while Funchal is dull, continuing on to Ponta do Sol or Calheta is usually worthwhile. Mornings are clearest; the beach and promenade are busiest in the afternoon.

Questions about this camera
Where is Ribeira Brava and what is the webcam showing?
Ribeira Brava is a town on Madeira's south-west coast, about twenty minutes from Funchal by expressway. The camera shows its pebble beach, seafront promenade, small fort and the bell tower of São Bento church, looking south towards the sea.
Is Ribeira Brava a good weather indicator for western Madeira?
It is a reliable midpoint check. Conditions here usually predict what you will find further west at Ponta do Sol and Calheta, so a bright frame is a good sign that a drive west will pay off even when Funchal is overcast.
