Located on one of the most prominent routes along the iconic Atlantic coast, this small island has always been a hot spot for travelers; its breathtaking ocean views and proximity to the curving bridge makes it a destination for reflecting on the relationship between the natural and the manmade. In 2007 the national tourist road department held an architecture and landscape competition for upgrading the site with a viewing platform, a small service building, and larger parking capacity.
