A place where sand and sea come together in perfect harmony. This particular beach is a real paradise, with a wild and deserted vibe that will make you feel like you're the only one there. The crystal-clear waters are so clean you could drink from them, and the long stretch of sand is perfect for sunbathing or building sandcastles. If you're looking for a swim, head to the left side of the beach where the underwater rocky outcrops keep the waves at bay. And getting there is half the fun - you can either take a trail through the ARIE of Itapebussus or make your way via the Praia do Mar do Norte. Either way, you'll feel like a true adventurer as you make your way to this hidden gem.

Getting to the beach requires a bit of effort as it involves a considerable amount of walking. However, the reward is worth it as during low tide, a beautiful natural pool is formed.
