the aproador rock is located between praia do diabo(devil's beach) and praia do arpoador(arpoador beach) and not only does it offer fantastic views, but is also known for great fishing, and swimming opportunities.

in portuguese, 'arpoador' means spearfish, which is no coincidence given that the surrounding waters are a hotbed of fish and marine wildlife. due to pedra de arpoador's unique location the views are truly spectacular.
