Without a doubt, the beach is stunning and a true hidden gem. Unfortunately, access is limited as it is located within a private residence and requires a lengthy walk on foot. Despite this, I highly recommend visiting as it is a must-see destination.

The beach is stunning, but unfortunately a resort has been constructed near the shore which prohibits unauthorized access to the public beach area.

This is a great beach, especially for families with children as there is a nearby stream to play in. It's also quieter and less crowded than other beaches.

A location abundant with lush nature and rich history, featuring the fruitful cocoa tree of the coronel and a land of golden opportunities.

This beach can be accessed by car or trail, and we chose to take the trail through the Atlantic Forest, which was definitely worth it. We recommend asking a guide for help, as they typically charge around 100.00 reais. The beach itself boasts white sand and crystal clear waters, and there's a resort on site where you can pay for day use and enjoy amenities like a restaurant, swimming pool, and beach chairs. It's a beautiful and comfortable spot right by the sea. If you're interested in visiting, we suggest contacting the resort for daily rates. When it's time to leave, you can take a taxi back for around 50.00.
