This beach is just another overrated tourist trap, not worth the effort to get there. Whether you choose to hike or take a taxi boat, the journey is tedious and not worth the destination.

The signs were clear, and after about an hour of walking, I reached Praia do Sono. Although the path was hot and undulating, it was well worth the effort. I must admit that some parts of the trail were slippery, and I was warned to be cautious of snakes, spiders, and scorpions. I even came across a dead snake on the path. I stopped for lunch at the only open restaurant, and it was surprisingly delicious. I suspect that the low season might have something to do with the limited options, but there are plenty of bars and restaurants along the shore during peak season. There are also camping sites available, which is an excellent choice for those who want to stay longer and explore nearby beaches. For the more adventurous, there is a five-night hike, where you camp along the way and bring
An idyllic location for relaxation, this beach offers a serene atmosphere due to its relatively secluded access. The peacefulness of the area is enhanced by the absence of crowds, making it an ideal spot to unwind and recharge.
