The best beach in Paraty with excellent service at the Pitanga bar. The people are wonderful and I enjoyed a delicious lemon caipirinha.

The beach is fantastic - peaceful and well-maintained. Junior's kiosk offers generous portions at a reasonable price, and there is a shower nearby. You can also take a boat to explore nearby islands. I had a great time and would definitely return.

I wasn't a fan of the beach, but we decided to take a boat from there to Ilha do Pelado for R$40.00 per person (round trip). It was absolutely stunning and the prices at the kiosks were fair.

This beach is a beautiful spot where you can enjoy some peace and quiet, even during Carnival week. You can easily drive right up to the beach and park for either R$20 or R$10. It's conveniently located near the highway and has a great family-friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting this beach.

Praia da Pitanga is a beach that connects to São Gonçalo beach. It is a protected area with no permanent kiosks, only street vendors. This beach is peaceful, spacious, and the best part is that there are boats available to take you to the islands of Pelado, Peladinho, and Cedro.
