Nestled in the charming Barra Nova, the picturesque beach of Lindo undergoes a natural transformation every 4 years, giving it its name. However, the ever-changing tides have made this stunning beach a sight to behold, with modifications occurring every 2 months. The beauty of this beach is unparalleled, with its pristine waters and soft sands inviting visitors to bask in the warm sun and soak in the tranquil atmosphere. Lindo beach is a true gem of nature that is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who visits.
