Verified against the streams themselves, not against the pages that link them — several much-linked Madeira webcams have been dead for years. These start by themselves as you scroll to them.
The airport
The runway on its stilts. If you want to know what the wind is doing before you fly in, this is the honest answer.
Camera operated by Só Espeto
The spotting point above the threshold, where the crosswind landings are watched from.
Camera operated by Cassiano's Snack Bar
Funchal and the harbour
The cruise berth itself. If a ship is alongside, you will see it here.
Camera operated by Portal Netmadeira
The marina in the middle of the harbour, and the sea state just outside it.
Camera operated by Madeira-Web
Funchal from high on its northern slope — the quickest way to see where the cloud base is sitting over the city.
Camera operated by Webcamtaxi
The seafront by the CR7 museum. This one pans, so it is not always pointing at the water.
Camera operated by Webcamtaxi
Avenida Arriaga, the avenue the Flower Festival and Carnival parades run along.
Camera operated by Madeira-Web
Barreirinha, the old town’s own bathing spot — two streets below the painted doors.

Beaches and sea pools
Funchal’s biggest beach, and a fair picture of what Madeiran pebble actually looks like.
Camera operated by Frente MarFunchal
The Lido sea pools. Useful for judging how busy the front is before you walk down.
Camera operated by Frente MarFunchal
The natural rock pools just west of the Lido.
Camera operated by Frente MarFunchal
One of the two imported-sand beaches, and the more sheltered of them.
Camera operated by Madeira-Web
A small pebble beach below Caniço, east of Funchal.

The mountains
Out on the high plateau — the only live camera up there, and the catchment the 25 Fontes levada drains.
Camera operated by Portal Netmadeira
Looking down over Câmara de Lobos and the bay. Shows whether the coastal cloud is sitting below you, which is the inversion question.

Around the island
The bay, the other imported-sand beach, and the town the island was first settled from.
Camera operated by Webcamtaxi
The bay Churchill painted, and the boats that still work out of it.
Camera operated by Portal Netmadeira
The north coast, where the swell arrives first and hardest.
Camera operated by Portal Netmadeira
The sunniest corner of the south-west, and usually the last place to lose the light.
Camera operated by Portal Netmadeira
The road east, and the last shelter before the Ponta de São Lourenço trailhead.

The cameras that do not exist
This list is the part nobody else publishes. If you searched for one of these, this is the answer, and it saves you trying the links that pretend otherwise.
Porto Santo has no working public camera. One feed is offline and unlisted, the other sits behind an access token. Pages offering a "Porto Santo beach cam" are re-serving one of those two.
Porto Moniz — village and lava pools — has none. Both known feeds are removed videos, and the operator’s own page still links them.
Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo have no live video. The "Webcam Arieiro" that search surfaces is a recording; the operator’s summit stills cannot be embedded. Rabaçal and Cruz da Caldeira above are the honest upland substitutes.
Santana’s camera is offline. It may return; we re-check.
São Vicente / Ponta Delgada: the only known feed is a removed video.
Checked 26 July 2026, camera by camera, including the live-broadcast flag on each stream — an embed that returns a page is not an embed that plays.
The cameras are hosted on YouTube, so opening this page contacts Google. Nothing else on the page does.
