Mirador de Sant Jaume, Coastal observation platform in Benidorm, Spain.
The pentagonal shaped platform extends over rocky cliffs, providing views across both Levante and Poniente beaches of the Mediterranean coast.
From the 14th to 17th centuries, the location housed a defensive fortress that protected local inhabitants against attacks from Mediterranean pirates.
The white stone balustrade platform marks the division between Benidorm's main beaches while local musicians perform for passing visitors.
Access to the viewpoint requires walking along the beachfront promenade from either Levante or Poniente Beach toward the old town section.
The viewpoint stands where English forces engaged Napoleon's troops in 1812, leading to substantial damage to the original castle structure.
