While the access may be a bit challenging, the stunning beaches, landscapes, and engravings make it all worthwhile. Plus, it's worth noting that this beach offers free public entry.

Praia Linda is a fascinating beach with intricate markings etched into the stones that allude to ancient figures. What's even better is that the beach is open to the public and free to enter.
