Miradouro do Pau da Bandeira

The Pau da Bandeira viewpoint offers direct views over Fishermen's Beach and white buildings perched on golden cliffs above the Atlantic Ocean.

Located at the heart of Albufeira's old town, this observation point marks where officials once raised flags to signal incoming fishing boats.

Local photographers gather at this elevated platform to capture the contrast between traditional Portuguese architecture and the natural landscape of the Algarve coast.

Visitors can access the viewpoint and Fishermen's Beach through escalators, with parking facilities available near Rua Sacadura Cabral 23.

Three small sculptures stand at the viewpoint to commemorate the tradition of photography at this location overlooking the Atlantic waters.
