The beach is nice, but it could be better maintained as there is a lot of litter left on the ground by visitors.

The beach is fantastic, unlike Balneário Santo Antônio, it's perfect for swimming in the lagoon without any pollution. The area is surrounded by trees and has plenty of space for a barbecue, making it a great place for family gatherings and fun for everyone. The access is getting better, but the Pelotas City Hall should focus on improving the infrastructure.

It's unfortunate that the local authorities don't put more effort into maintaining this section of the beach. It's always crowded when we visit, and it would be great if they could keep it clean, especially since the beachfront is so lovely ❤️
