Mirante do Pontal do Atalaia, Scenic viewpoint in Arraial do Cabo, Brazil.
The observation platform at Pontal do Atalaia provides views of turquoise waters, coastal cliffs, and surrounding beaches across the Brazilian coastline.
The viewpoint developed from a strategic maritime observation post where Portuguese settlers monitored the Brazilian coast during colonial times.
Local photographers gather at this elevated location each evening to document the changing colors of the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean.
Access requires a 2.3-kilometer journey from downtown Arraial do Cabo, with a vehicle entry fee of 20 Brazilian reais at the condominium entrance.
The platform features multiple levels of natural rock formations that serve as individual observation spots for visitors throughout the day.
