What to do in Varandinha Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Varandinha Beach 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 charming little beach boasts hidden caves nestled within the cliffs, a true gem for explorers at heart. While the journey to get there from Pavoacao Velha may require a bit of effort, it is well worth it for those with a sense of adventure. With the aid of a 4x4 or quad, the beach is easily accessible and waiting to be discovered.

Ah, the lovers' favorite beach. How quaint. If you're looking to escape the sun, there are a couple of caves on the hillside that you can hide in. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, you can join the locals and camp out overnight. But let's be real, the real draw here is the kitesurfing and windsurfing from November to March. Just don't expect to find the access easily - you might as well fork over some cash to a local guide if you want to avoid getting lost.
