The Miradouro do Facho Viewpoint raises above the marina of Praia da Vitória, in the Terceira Island, in the Azores Archipelago, Portugal.

This viewpoint is an authentic balcony above Praia da Vitória, since it offers exceptional views over the city and the unique landscape that spans from the Serra do Cume Mountains to the beach.

According to historians, the name Serra do Facho Mountains, comes from its use as a place to warn sailors during the 15th and 16th centuries lighting up a fire on its summit.
