Miradouro dos Três Castelos, Clifftop viewpoint in Portimão, Portugal.
The Três Castelos viewpoint extends along the cliff edge, offering clear views of the golden beaches and three large rock formations in the Atlantic Ocean.
The lookout point gained importance in the 20th century when Portimão developed from a fishing village into a major tourist destination in the Algarve region.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices beneath the viewpoint, setting their nets near the rocks while tourists gather to observe the daily catch.
Access to the viewpoint is available through Avenida Tomás Cabreira, with designated parking spaces and a staircase leading directly to Três Castelos beach.
During low tide, visitors can observe the natural tunnel formations in the cliffs connecting Três Castelos beach to neighboring Praia da Rocha.
