Area

Average rating of nearest beaches is 8 (Very good)

It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach. To swim, to sunbathe, to drink a couple of cocktails, again to swim and again to sunbathe, the variety usually is very limited. But on Engenho Beach you can test yourself in such an activity as water jumping. It's fun and it's scary, the rest you have to experience on your own.

In most cases, the question What to do on Engenho Beach implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.
