Visitors rave about the Monumento dos Pescadores, particularly its free and fun interactive photo installations that rival paid attractions elsewhere. The opportunity to see sea turtles and explore the charming fishing village adds to its appeal, making it a highly recommended, picturesque stop.
"This is not only a fishing place but they turned it into a selfies park (love sign, butterfly, hammock under the bridge, rest on boat in air, etc..) where other countries charge over 20$ for such an experience. This place is all free. Small lineups. Well worth it. A small beach as well in this area."
Antoine Assaad
"I didn't go on the deck but explored the little village of fishing huts and boats. Very photogenic and we could see sea turtles swimming nearby."
Garrett Fagnou
"I didn't enter the deck but I saw it while hiking from one beach to another. I really looked like a relaxing place!"
