If you follow the street toward the sea and slip into a small side alley on the right—just before you reach the main viewpoint over the beach—you’ll find a barely marked staircase leading down. At the bottom there’s a quiet little spot overlooking Praia dos Pescadores that most tourists miss because they keep walking straight ahead. It’s only a few steps away from the crowds, yet all you hear is the ocean and the sight of fishing boats resting in the bay.
