The viewpoint is situated at an altitude that offers a clear 180-degree perspective of the coastline from the Maresme region.
It is integrated into a network of paths maintained by the Diputació de Barcelona as part of the Parc de la Serralada Litoral.
The location serves as a strategic point for observing the geological transition between the granite coastal mountains and the sea level urban areas.
The viewpoint area is actively monitored as part of a wildfire prevention and surveillance network for the surrounding forest.
Mirador de la Cornisa is an elevated scenic overlook situated within the Parc de la Serralada Litoral, offering panoramic views of the Maresme coast and the Mediterranean Sea. The site provides a direct vantage point over the towns of El Masnou, Teià, and Premia de Mar. It is located along a designated trail network that connects local municipalities through mountainous terrain. The terrain consists of Mediterranean pine and holm oak forests typical of the coastal range. The platform is designed to provide clear sightlines towards Barcelona city on the horizon. It serves as a natural transition point between the urban coastline and the higher elevations of the Catalan Coastal Range.

Bring high-traction footwear as the approach trails are unpaved, uneven, and can be slippery after rain.
Carry sufficient water as there are no amenities or kiosks available at the overlook itself.
Visit on a clear day with low humidity to maximize visibility of the Barcelona skyline and the distant outline of the Serra de Collserola.
Do not rely on standard urban navigation apps for the final stretch, as they may suggest restricted or non-existent forest roads.
Practice 'Leave No Trace' principles; do not discard waste in the forest area.
