Latest reviews on Fortaleza da Barra's beaches

Joaquina Beach
8 Exploring Excursions

The beach is alright, but it's quite crowded. If that's your thing, then it might be a good fit for you. The dunes in the background are a nice touch and if you climb up them, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful view of the beach. Additionally, the rocks on the left side of the beach are worth exploring.

Praia Do Gravata
8 Heidi Snow

This beach is tucked away and quite secluded, with no facilities. It takes a muddy 20-minute walk to get there, so it's not overly crowded. The views of the coast and Praia Mole are stunning.

Barra da Lagoa Beach
4 Nica Pavlov.

To me, this beach seems better suited for surfing. Additionally, the sand is a beautiful golden color and has a fine texture.

Galheta Beach
7 Zandelek Oroksa

A stunning oasis where you can bask in the glory of Mother Nature and find inner peace. Sure, it's technically a nude beach, but don't let that scare you off. Only a handful of people were actually in the buff when we visited. Personally, I found it a bit awkward to keep my clothes on while others were letting it all hang out. It's a classic case of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." As for family-friendliness, well, let's just say there are other nudist spots that might be more up your alley.

Mole Beach

The beach was stunning, and although the water was clear, the waves were powerful.

Barra beach
9 Celina R.

This beach in Floranapolis has become my absolute favorite! The water is crystal clear and the waves are just right for a refreshing dip. It's amazing how you can still feel relaxed while enjoying the waves. There are a few kiosks on the beach, and we had the pleasure of trying Andres' mouth-watering camarao empanada and fresh mango juice. It was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend visiting this beach, especially during the week when it's slightly less crowded.
