8 Very good

A quaint little spot accessible through the lighthouse or Quissamã. Perfect for a weekend getaway, but don't expect any luxurious accommodations. The meeting of the sea and river is quite a sight, but don't be fooled by the rough, cold waters of the sea. Most folks prefer to take a dip in the river, which conveniently runs alongside the beach. Just be aware that depending on the tide, the beach may be a bit cramped. All in all, a charming spot for a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
