About

Witch Beach is located on the South Atlantic Ocean (part of Atlantic ocean) and it is in the 71th place out of 375 beaches in the Rio de Janeiro region 102.8 km away from its center, the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is one of the beaches of Enseada das Estrelas settlement, just 2.1 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place, among the mountains. It is partially covered by trees which give natural shade.

It is a small bay with crystal turquoise water and pure bright fine sand, so you don't need special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is partially crowded during the high season.

Witch Beach coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities, snorkeling, sea kayaking.

17 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Praia do Abraozinho, which has a rating of 8.4.

Witch Beach (Rio de Janeiro) is located outside the Enseada das Estrelas settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Grande island and the correct question is not how to get to Witch Beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

10 Exceptional

The beach is fantastic and there are a few small shops that sell food and drinks at a reasonable price, especially when you take into account the island's general prices. Additionally, there is transportation available to take you back to the cities, which means you can spend time hiking, relaxing on the beach, and then take a 15-minute boat ride back.

It's incredibly busy and you'll need to arrive early.

This is an incredible spot that's peaceful and has amenities like kiosks and a taxi boat for an entire day's worth of fun. I suggest checking out the beach after seeing the nearby waterfall that shares its name, which is about an hour's walk from Abraao.

This beach is quite popular and bustling with boats and tourists (including myself), but it's definitely worth checking out. You can do a lot of snorkeling here and enjoy some amazing views.

Although the location is gorgeous, it tends to get quite busy with loud boats, which can detract from the overall experience. It's best to arrive before 4pm, as that's when most boat tours end and boats start to arrive. Alternatively, visiting early in the morning is also a good option. It's recommended to bring a snorkel mask, as the water is crystal clear and you may even spot some fish swimming alongside you.
