Outsite does not provide parking in Madeira. However, there is a 24/7 paid public parking lot in front of Outsite. It costs 20 cents every 15 minutes and it's free after 7 PM. The parking lot is open for payment Monday - Friday from 8 AM to 7 PM and Saturday from 8 AM to 1 PM. Please know they only accept cash or Portuguese cards as payment methods. Alternatively, there is a free parking lot located on the left hand side of the shore, located behind the yellow house, at the base of the cliff.
