Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Praia do Curralinho welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

This beach is nothing short of enchanting. It has rightfully earned its place among the top 5 most stunning beaches in the world. The natural beauty here is simply breathtaking, with the waves gently crashing against the shore. It's a true paradise that must be experienced to be believed. Unfortunately, it's disheartening to hear that plans are in place to construct eight hotels on this pristine beach. The influx of tourists will undoubtedly mar its natural splendor.

This location is beyond words, it's almost as if it's not real. The vast expanse of pristine sand is breathtakingly stunning. It would be a great loss if any construction were to take place here, especially since it serves as a breeding ground for turtles. It's highly recommended to visit this place as soon as possible, before it loses its natural charm.

This beach is simply indescribable! It is an unforgettable experience that you simply cannot miss when visiting Boa Vista. This hidden gem is still untouched and stretches for kilometers, making it a true paradise on earth. As soon as I arrived, I was amazed to find myself completely alone on this expansive beach. The crystal-clear water was so inviting and perfect for swimming. It felt like I was in the Caribbean or the Maldives! I truly hope that this untouched bliss stays a secret for years to come. It would be a shame if hotels start to crowd this incredible place on earth. Let's keep this natural wonder pristine and unspoiled for future generations to enjoy!

Ahoy there, mateys! This beach is a sight for sore eyes. The sand is as white as a ghostly pirate's treasure and the water is so clear, you can see straight to the bottom. It's almost like being in a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean. However, don't be fooled by its beauty. The sea can be quite wild at times, so swimming may not always be an option. But hey, that's just part of the adventure, right?
