The highlight of this beach is the daily sunset celebration accompanied by live music, featuring the famous saxophonist Jurandy do Sax performing Bolero by Ravel. This unique experience has made Praia do Jacaré a popular destination for visitors seeking a magical and romantic sunset setting.
Beautiful little area. There is no beach per se, however, the little area is very clean, new with tons of shops and space to watch the sunset or shop. It is a very recommendable spot to come while in João Pessoa for the souvenir possibilities and to see the area/music/sunset.
Miguel S — Google review
Most popular sunset in Brazil. 🌅 However, if you want more beautiful ones, try Barra Grande, Bahia, or the dunes of Lençois Maranhenses. What’s special here is that the music is nice; also there are free bathrooms. Other than that it’s pretty crowded.
Alexandra K — Google review
Nice touristic spot to see the sunset. It's basically a street following the river with bunch of small stores to buy souvenirs and food. You can park your car for free at the public designated area, but you will have an army of people trying to make your park before on their area for 5 reais. That's not a lot to pay, but if you don't want to, ignore them and park at the end on the left.
Sarah Z — Google review
This place is really beautiful and charming Come by the sun set and you will by able to hear Ravel's Bolero The sound and the sight comes together and make it a magic place There are many shopping and eating There are bars and restaurants You can go on the boat to see the sun set

Very nice, but simple. Lots of shops with neat tourist items and some restaurants. Running the gauntlet of people trying to "sell" a parking space is annoying. Of course, Bolero at sunset is the highlight.

(Translated by Google) I believe that every good travel experience begins with choosing the right place to stay. And, unfortunately, we made a mistake in this regard. João Pessoa is an incredible city — beautiful, welcoming, and full of polite and helpful people. However, our stay at the Tambaú Beach Hotel left much to be desired. The location is excellent, super close to everything, but the hotel falls short in several aspects, especially in the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms. The walls had mold — and, from what I've seen in other comments here on Google, it wasn't an isolated problem. A real nightmare for anyone with allergies! We booked some tours with Luck Turismo, which is a partner of the hotel and has a permanent space in the reception area to sell packages. One of the tours left at 6:45 am, and since breakfast is only served from 6:30 am, I tried to talk to the reception to see if it would be possible to arrive 10 minutes earlier or if they could prepare a snack for us to take with us. In other hotels I've stayed in, this has always been resolved willingly — after all, we are in a tourist city. But, to my surprise, the response was curt and abrupt: “There’s nothing we can do, can’t you have coffee in 15 minutes? That’s all the time you have.” No willingness to help, not even an attempt at a solution. As a result, I gulped down my food so as not to miss the tour. Another day, I ordered a tapioca for breakfast (which is made to order) and, quite rudely, the employee informed me that it would be the last one—at 7:20 am, with several guests still arriving to eat! I waited more than 15 minutes and, when I asked again, I was told they wouldn't be making any more tapioca that day. I could have enjoyed my breakfast normally, but I ended up wasting time waiting for something that never came. I also had an unpleasant experience when requesting a hairdryer at reception. The attendant, wearing headphones, showed complete unwillingness—he huffed, stood up, and handed over the item visibly annoyed, as if he were doing me a favor. In short, there are many accommodation options in João Pessoa, and I would certainly choose a different one on a future visit. The Tambaú Beach Hotel presents itself as a 3-star hotel, but honestly, it doesn't even come close to deserving one. (Original) Acredito que toda boa experiência de viagem começa pela escolha do local onde ficar. E, infelizmente, nesse ponto, nós erramos. João Pessoa é uma cidade incrível — linda, acolhedora e cheia de pessoas educadas e solícitas. Porém, nossa hospedagem no Tambaú Beach Hotel deixou bastante a desejar. A localização é excelente, super próxima de tudo, mas o hotel peca em vários aspectos, especialmente na limpeza dos quartos e banheiros. As paredes apresentavam mofo — e, pelo que vi em outros comentários aqui no Google, não foi um problema isolado. Um verdadeiro pesadelo para quem é alérgico! Fechamos alguns passeios com a Luck Turismo, que é parceira do hotel e tem um espaço fixo na recepção para venda dos pacotes. Um dos passeios saía às 6h45, e como o café da manhã é servido apenas a partir das 6h30, tentei conversar com a recepção para ver se seria possível entrar 10 minutinhos antes ou se poderiam separar um lanche para levarmos. Em outros hotéis que já fiquei, isso sempre foi resolvido com boa vontade — afinal, estamos em uma cidade turística. Mas, para minha surpresa, a resposta foi seca e ríspida: “Não tem como fazer nada, você não consegue tomar café em 15 minutos? É o tempo que você tem.” Sem disposição em ajudar, nem sequer uma tentativa de solução. Resultado: engoli a comida às pressas para não perder o passeio. Em outro dia, pedi uma tapioca no café da manhã (que é feita na hora) e, com bastante grosseria, a funcionária me informou que aquela seria a última — às 7h20 da manhã, com vários hóspedes ainda chegando para comer! Esperei mais de 15 minutos e, ao perguntar novamente, ouvi que não fariam mais nenhuma tapioca naquele dia. Poderia ter aproveitado o café normalmente, mas acabei perdendo tempo esperando algo que nunca veio. Também tive uma experiência desagradável ao solicitar um secador na recepção. O atendente, de fone de ouvido, demonstrou total má vontade — bufou, levantou e entregou o item visivelmente contrariado, como se estivesse me fazendo um favor. Em resumo, há muitas opções de hospedagem em João Pessoa, e certamente escolheria outra em uma próxima visita. O Tambaú Beach Hotel se apresenta como um hotel 3 estrelas, mas, sinceramente, não chega nem perto de merecer uma.

Worth visiting, but slightly overrated if you really want the beach scene. Coqueirinho Is better as a beach with many more food options. Tambaba is famed for it's nudist section, which is easy to avoid if you wish. Go, take pictures, and then move on to a better beach. The scenery is unique to most local beaches.

Nice beach ⛱️🏖️ However, there is only water, sand, big buildings and some palm trees. Nothing special if you like really nice views. But if you like sun, sand and warm water, that's a good place to be.
Diego H — Google review
The high tale is around noon, so the best time to take advantage of the natural pools that are shark safe is the early morning. Once you are in pleamar, huge sections of the beach disappear under the water, but you will still have plenty of areas with a wide strip of sand. If you consume anything, you so not have to pay for the umbrellas and the chairs.

Boa Viagem is an urban beach located in Recife. Unfortunately known for accidents with Sharks, it is a very good beach to spend the day, on the beach out of the water. If you go, go early, as the sun sets early on the beach due to the large buildings that hide the sun from 3 pm onwards.

The institute features a military and weaponry museum, an art gallery, extensive parkland with outdoor sculptures, gardens, and a well-stocked library.
Very beautiful museum. So much to see and do. Really enjoyed being there. Went with my family.
JP S — Google review
Have to admit, I was a little underwhelmed by certain parts of Recife, abandoned buildings and evident economic struggle; but not this place, apparently a lot of the money of the town went to whoever built this place. I was legit amazed by the collection of global art and artifacts that Mr. Brennand had accumulated. Huuge tapestries, ivory carved dioramas from asia, bottero sculptures, local art, and enough medieval suits of armor and weapons to hold off a small invading army; all housed in immaculately manicured gardens and enormous brick chapels and halls. If you have it, I appreciate the desire to let everyone else enjoy it also.
Kiantar B — Google review
Simply incredible. Looks like a very European art museum in the middle of North East Brazil, and even though most of the artworks are replicas, it's surely worth visiting. Many expositions are hosted and the permanent collection is very beautiful. Fair price, no wait and absolutely the best art experience in Recife.
ALESSANDRO C — Google review
This is one of my favorite places to visit in Recife. The Brennand collection of weapons is fantastic and they certainly have a vast collection of art. My favorite time to go is during the week when it rains a little because there aren't as many people around so you can have a lot of time to yourself. Great architecture as well. This place is worth your time for sure.
Nephi B — Google review
The architecture is stunning but the gallery displays a lot of replicas and some originals. Most pieces don't have information on who made them or where, nor any historical context. The arms collection os really interesting but could also use some more information. Also, the ticket priced at R$50 makes it more expensive than most Brazilians can afford.
Stella ( — Google review
One of the best and most unique museums in the northeast of Brazil, if not all Brazil. A must-visit if you’re in the northeast! The Dutch tapestries and the history of the Dutch in Brazil is fascinating, as is a vast building filled with thousands of weapons from the last hundred years. Add in the stunning gardens filled with capybara and monkeys strolling around and playing and this truly is a memorable place to spend a few hours. Cafe and restaurant on site too. Entrance is $50 BRL.

Maragogi Natural Pools in Alagoas, Brazil, are a set of well-preserved pools with shallow and crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming and snorkeling among the coral. The most famous pool is the Welsh, which is the largest in the region and can be reached by boat or hired tours with guides from local agencies. These pools offer opportunities to snorkel or dive amidst clear waters, colorful fish, and coral formations.
Best of the best. I've really enjoyed
Ferhat I — Google review
Beautiful place where we can see clear water and several fishes. But it depends on weather and people crowded. It tales 20 to 30 minutes to reach here by boat. I recommend to take snorkel set.
Papipupenta — Google review
Super crowded (over 10 boats to a pool) with very low visibility. The place is an absolute money grab, the companies simply want to sell you snorkling, photos, drinks, everything you can imagine once you are in the water with them... besides that there service is just unfriendly. Do not recommend it as it is a waste of money that is causing more harm than good to the environment. It might have been good in the past but now is simply a circus of boats and prople selling you stuff in the water. '
Pedro B — Google review
Without a doubt a must visit situation. The natural pools are amazing. Take care that you ask for the correct times. You need to make sure you get a catamaran. The service and prices are the beach are okay, nothing to crazy and as expected.
O K — Google review
I have done 2 tours and both of them were so full of people. Maragogi is overrated 100%. City does not infrastructure needed / swming pool - the visibility is low in some points and definatly they is not fish diversity. I saw people diving with cilindro in less than 1 meter depth. Until now was the worse place that I have been. Too Many people they try to seel you everything even to take pictures. Sao Miguel dos milagres is smaller but the tours over there to swimming pool were nicer .

Excellent choice for friends and family a bit touristy and a lot of locals trying to sell you something, constantly, which is kind of annoying , but other than that , warm and green water

Dirty beach, old infrastructure and weird local people and beggars. I do not recommend for a family. The streets around are also dirty, no marked crossings in the city and the car and motorcar trafic is high. It is a pitty, because it has a great potential. The local authority just need to move out all the trash and regulate the annoying local vendors.
Ondrej — Google review
Awesome beach, really worth visiting. Between November and March, if it's not crowded you just walk along the shore and you will be offered seats ("cadeiras") under a sunshade or sunbrella for R$30. It might get really crowded on Sundays.
Cristian L — Google review
Plain awful. The water is disgusting and it is unclear as to whether the water is muddy or if it is sewage. We walked the entire length of the beach and didn’t find it suitable to get in at any point. The sand itself is fine. I cannot understand how this beach gets such high ratings. Avoid this beach if planning on getting in the water.

Disheartening how absolutely disgusting this beach is. Unless you are into loud sound bars from every other group, into piles of trash mixed with algae, and into muddy ocean floor, this place is not for you. The 2 stars go to how this beach looks from far away: pretty ocean reefs and blue sea water. Unfortunately up close, it is a disappointment. Avoid!

Praia do Francês is a well-known beach located in the city of Marechal Deodoro, about 20 km from Maceio. It's known for its reef pools that are perfect for swimming and offers various water sports activities. The area also has food and souvenir vendors to cater to visitors. The beach is praised for its cleanliness and relatively less crowded compared to other beaches in the region. Visitors recommend specific tents on the beach for an enjoyable stay and highlight the beautiful sunset views.
Definitely worth a visit! Wonderful beach for long walks (over 5km if you want!). The ocean is warm and the reef provides a safe area for swimming and snorkeling. The open ocean is great for surfing, but some areas have strong currents so be careful if you are outside the reef areas. There is a nice walkway just above the beach as well.

Wish the businesses would clean the beach area. There were dead fish along the water line. Bottle caps buried in the sand. Beach area lost 2 stars due to cleanliness and aggressive vendors. The water is nice. There is a wave breaker wall. Parts of the beach are crowded with businesses and people. I selected the area near the lifeguard tower as it was less crowded. 50R$ for table and umbrella if you don't order food.

This picturesque beach on a peninsula features swimming, boating, coconut trees & eateries.
A nice place with beautiful beach and all sorts of facilities to make the time more enjoyable. Lots of activities offered and a wide variety of food with affordable prices. However, experience can be negatively impacted with the amount of sellers offering the whole day for photo sessions, lottery cards, hats, biquinis, food, etc. Some common sense must be considered - we are there as tourists enjoying the time with family and are interrupted every 2/3 minutes. Very annoying.

Although the beach is beautiful, but the commercial environments are disappointing and unacceptable, all they want is to make every single penny from the tourist. When you wanted to pay the buggy by credit card, they additionally charge you 15%, when you pay by debit card, they additionally charge you 10%, when you wanted to pay by Pix, they do not accept, the only way they do not charge you more is by cash. We are only 5 people group, they wanted to charge us by 6 seats for the buggy. If you wanted to park your car, you have to pay 25 BRL. Absolutely, will never come this place again, everything is disappointing.

Great staff, well organized and well mantained environment. The entry ticket justifies its R$ 24 price tag, letting you go to any places in the stabelecement (excluding the Yellow Submarine atraction) with freedom All animals are healthy and are well cared and loved by everyone working there. Things on the exit shop are pricy but are justificable by how much this project has been doing and how much they need to pay for taking care of the animals, maintain the building in good state and pay the employees as well. Overall, couldn't stay more happy to visit and help the project as well.
Victor R — Google review
It's so little! I would recommend if you want to see a group of sharks and some little turtles. Overall I am kind of disappointed because compared to the TAMAR project of Praia do Forte this one has only is 1/3 of the size and attractions. I would recommend watch the animal feeding. You can also ask for a stamp in your arm in case you want to go out and return later on.

(Translated by Google) Saco Beach The scenery is one of crystal-clear, blue sea, fine, light-colored sand, coconut trees, dunes, and a river. It's no wonder that, for many, Saco Beach is considered the most beautiful on the entire Sergipe coast. Located in the far south of the state, bordering Bahia, the destination is a perfect day trip option for those who enjoy paradisiacal landscapes, including buggy rides through the dunes at sunset and boat trips to the beautiful sandbanks that form where the sea meets the river. Saco Beach is just over 70 kilometers from Aracaju, a journey of about an hour by car from Orla de Atalaia, one of the most famous tourist spots in the Sergipe capital. The tour is also offered by several tourism agencies, which usually depart early in the morning and return before sunset. The average price is R$ 100 per person, with transportation and guide included (boat and buggy tours must be booked separately). (Original) Praia do Saco O cenário é de um mar cristalino e azulado, areia fina e clara, coqueiros, dunas e rio. Não é à toa que, para muitos, a Praia do Saco é considerada a mais bonita de todo o litoral sergipano. Localizada no extremo sul do estado, já na divisa com a Bahia, o destino é uma opção de bate e volta perfeita para quem curte paisagens paradisíacas, com direito a passeios de buggy pelas dunas ao pôr do sol e de barco até os belíssimos bancos de areia que se formam onde o mar encontra o rio. A Praia do Saco fica a pouco mais de 70 quilômetros de Aracaju, trajeto feito em cerca de uma hora de carro saindo da Orla de Atalaia, um dos pontos turísticos mais famosos da capital sergipana. O passeio também é oferecido por diversas agências de turismo, que costumam partir no início da manhã e voltar antes do entardecer. O valor médio é de R$ 100 por pessoa, com translado e guia incluídos (os passeios de barco e buggy devem ser contratados separadamente..

(Translated by Google) Praia do Saco is a rustic and beautiful spot in Sergipe, with dunes, coconut groves, mangroves, and that clear sea. You can take a boat trip to Ilha da Sogra, Ponta do Saco, and other islands, or venture out in a buggy through the dunes, which is great for photos and to appreciate the landscape from above. The beach's infrastructure is simple: there are some kiosks and restaurants like Asa Branca and Pirata that serve snacks, moqueca (a type of fish stew), pirão (a type of porridge), and drinks. The average cost to eat there can range from R$70 to R$150 per person, depending on the dish and the place. The main attractions are the dunes, the viewpoints, the islands accessible by boat, and the meeting of the Real River with the sea at Ponta do Saco. Bring cash because many buggy drivers and boats don't accept cards. (Original) A Praia do Saco é um cantinho rústico e lindo em Sergipe, com dunas, coqueirais, mangue e aquele mar clarinho.

A estrutura da praia é simples: tem alguns quiosques e restaurantes como o Asa Branca e o Pirata que servem petiscos, moqueca, pirão e bebidas. A média para comer por lá pode ficar entre R$ 70 e R$ 150 por pessoa, dependendo do prato e do lugar.

I paid 10 reais on an umbrella, and drank beer worth 8 on average, water costs around 4 reais, cheap snacks. Worth the trip. Beautiful beach, twenty-six miles from the center of Salvador, with an extensive strip of sand, therefore, in several points, quite deserted, even in high season. Located in a quiet neighborhood next to Stella Maris and Itapuã, but with plenty of services such as restaurants, markets, cafeterias and a shop that serves very well for everyday needs. Great place to relax with the family.

Basílica do Senhor do Bonfim

Mentioned on 
11 lists 
Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
The Basílica do Senhor do Bonfim, an impressive 18th-century church situated on Sacred Hill, is a significant stop on Bahia's religious tourism route. Each year, the renowned Lavagem do Bonfim ceremony unites Catholics and Candomblé practitioners in devotion. The neoclassical interior showcases remarkable works of art such as Francisco Velasco's ceiling panel and Jose Rufino Capinam's paintings at the entrance.
The Basilica do Senhor do Bonfim is a beautiful and culturally significant church worth visiting. However, the experience can be somewhat diminished by persistent sellers and Baianas asking for money if you take their picture. While the architecture and atmosphere are impressive, be prepared for these interruptions during your visit.

It is the most famous of the Catholic churches of Salvador, in the State of Bahia, Brazil. It was built in the 18th century. Fitinha do Senhor do Bonfim is a souvenir and popular amulet that can be found being sold by street vendors around the Church. Go there early before midday and do not forget to buy your bracelets

Visited the Basilica this morning. There were not many people and parking was not that difficult. By about 1030 Hrs, the place was filling as the mass had started at 1030 Hrs. There was no ticket to purchase but you could donate any amount you want to.

A must see during your visit to Salvador. A beautiful cathedral that captures the heart and soul of one of the oldest cities established in the new world. It’s local custom to tie ribbons at the gate in front of the church and say a prayer to the Holy Savior of the Bay of all Saints. Inside the cathedral and deep rooted in the Afro-Brazillian Candomblé traditions and the Catholic Ex-Voto, the afflicted offer wax casts in body parts to Saints as thanks or hope of healing them.

The church is beautiful and full with the visitors but should be careful about the guy at the parking lot along the street they are asking for 20 reais for every car.
Patrick D — Google review
Beautiful church carrying a lot of history. There was service when we arrived and it was crowded but we found seats and could enjoy the amazing interior of the church whilst praying. Be aware about parking and souvenir prices, street vendors try to make money on unadvised tourists.

Good vibe to get your blessings. Given the importance in Brazil you would expect a grand church. It is, however relatively small and simple, but never the less impressive for its significance for the faithful in Brazil. Great photo opportunities with the colourful Senhor do Bonfim ribbons tied to the church gate.

Elevador Lacerda

The Elevador Lacerda is a historic art deco elevator that provides scenic views while connecting the upper and lower parts of Salvador. It offers a convenient and affordable way to explore the old city center, with taxis, buses, and foot travel also being viable options. This iconic elevator was erected in the mid to late 1800s and showcases impressive Art Deco design from additional work done in the early 20th century.
It's a small pastry and ice cream shop situated right next to the elevator. I have to admit that the ice creams are delicious, generously served, and really cheap. You may choose to get them in a cone or a cup. The 'Pave' flavor is amazing! Pave is a Brazilian cake-like dessert.
Arkadiusz J — Google review
The City around the elevator is dangerous. The elevator looks good, but it's not spectacular to use.
Matheus Z — Google review
A tourist attraction with a lot of history. ⭐ The elevator is very fast and takes you to the upper city in a few seconds ⭐ We did not pay an entrance fee and did not have to wait in a queue ⭐ Nothing else to say or to do. Very straightforward. It is an elevator after all. But fun nonetheless! Also, prices for souvenirs in the upper city are cheaper than at Mercado Modelo!
B. N — Google review
Lacerda Elevator was the first urban elevator in the world when it opened on December 8, 1873 the 63 meters tall elevator takes you from lower town to upper town. A major tourist attractions and photo spot of Salvador. Great views of the bay and the governors palace.

Beware of people who try to sell souvenirs and paint your body. They pretend it’s a freebie but will try to get as much as they can from you. Another advice, do not wear gold necklaces and such. Large groups or maybe with a guide is safer.
Rodrigo A — Google review
The history behind the construction is interesting, however it’s not a great place to go. Going up and down costs R$0,15 per visitor and the elevator is too crowded, hot as hell and smells sweat. Great view up there though.
Enzo — Google review
It's very cheap at only R$0.15, and conveniently located. It facilitates a 10 minute walk from the ferry to Pelourinho or from Pelourinho to the market. There may be a bit of a line depending on the time of day that you visit. Can also get a bit hot during the day. There are stunning views from the top, a very popular photo op spot, as well as a famous ice cream shop help you beat the heat. Can't miss it on a visit to Salvador and I definitely recommend taking it at least once.
Andre W — Google review
Better one to dine in. Beautiful ambient. Sitting area overlooking sun set and Mercado Modelo. It is right at exit of the upper level of Elevator. Best time to have ice cream is during sun set

2a Praia

Beach
Outdoor Activities
The 2a Praia in Morro de Sao Paulo is a popular beach with people looking for lots of fun during the holidays. It's home to some of the most popular beach bars and restaurants in town, as well as some of the most beautiful views of the ocean. It's just a short walk from the center of town and it's always crowded during high season, thanks to tourists who love its laid-back atmosphere and cool water.
The best place in morro de São Paulo , very lively, amazing beach and views and good vibes !
Alexandra G — Google review
this is a very lively crowded beach, it is semi-swimmable, but doesn't feel too clean, more for a dip in the water, as its a small bay on both sides of the point/ small island. its more a very vibrant area with a lot of choice to eat and drink, and a boardwalk for walking along the coastline, and people watch (a tonne of people watching here!!!). for a European visitor, it has Ibiza vibes, high season. so if you like party and busy, mixture of loud music, and young people, this is for you!!
MNML J — Google review
Beautiful beach, you can lie down and never have to get up, someone will get you all the acai and caipi you'll need. Lots of football, dancers and people having fun!
Pavel K — Google review
The beach may have been beautiful years before but over tourism has taken its charm. For one, it is highly commercialised with several overpriced and poor quality restaurants such as Sambass, where I had a terrible meal. I am a tourist myself, but feel there was a strange vibe from the swarm of tourists there who don’t seem to understand the basic manners of public spaces and I was made to feel uncomfortable by a group of men sitting strangely close to our towels and causing us to have to move away as they began playing football over our heads. Not to mention, the beach is filthy with trash left behind from such tourists. The beach was unenjoyable due to the above and I genuinely wouldn’t recommend spending your time and money to go there. There are many other beaches in Brazil with a much better ambience and less tourists with no manners.

This place it's amazing, I can't wait to go back. If you want to save some money on food you better eat at the various restaurants at the village unread go to the beach.

Quarta Praia is a tranquil and secluded beach in Morro de Sao Paulo, known for its peaceful atmosphere and calm sea. It is one of the farthest beaches from the island's center, offering a long stretch of sand and delightful warm natural pools during low tide. The clear and warm waters attract numerous tourists seeking relaxation and natural beauty. Despite being less frequented due to its distance, it provides an ideal setting for those looking for restful moments away from the hustle and bustle.
Best beach in Morro. Quiet, very long and beautiful walk. We enjoyed spending time in the hammocks on the beach and had good fruit juices.
Gigi F — Google review
The sea is cleaner and clearer here, compared to 1,2,3 beaches. however it is shallow and full of rocks. so it's only for a dip/bath and not really for a swim at all. there are a handful of restaurant/bars or stalls here on the beach. the drawing point is that it is much more peaceful and beautiful than the first 2 beaches, where they are just way too busy.
MNML J — Google review
The beach is beautiful, but for those who want bath or swim, it’s better to keep walking till the second half of the beach
Bruno L — Google review
Really liked it. Away from the crowds of the other beaches that are closer to the town centre you'll find a nice beach with very little amount of people (takes a while to get there as you can only get there by foot I think). Because of that, unfortunately this isn't an option for people with reduced mobility. There are a couple of bars that (I think) serve some food (although we didn't eat). Not a place to watch the sunset, best during the morning/day time (till 16:30-17:00)
Isa A — Google review
Much quieter than in town. Worth walking here and sitting in the shade of the big trees after a splash.
Paolo D — Google review
It’s a very flat and shallow beach, even with the tide. The mud is very soft and is good for rubbing on your skin or throwing at your friends (or enemies, you choose). It’s the least crowded beach, especially farther south.
Angus B — Google review
This is the most peaceful and beautiful beach of Morro. When the tide is low you can swim in natural pools with many colorful fishes. The coast is designed with palm trees and other trees.

This famous paradise beach stretches for over 7km of white sands with natural rock pools & corals.
You should really go, check when it's low tide. Great experience for kids as well. You can just walk into the water and be surrounded by beautiful coloured fish. We didn't dive but I imagine there are amazing things to see....

Popular beach in the area to watch the sunset, lots of people having a drink and enjoying it. Water was fairly warm, waves very small, slight pebbly section at the water's edge but after that 5 metre stretch, all sandy.

Cool just to see the beach on the other side, the town and maybe a sunset. But as a beach, it's much better to go to resende, tiririca and ribeira. The sand here has a dirty-looking aspect and the beach feels crowded really fast. Not much space.

It's the perfect beach for you if you want to swim. There is a lot of bars for you to sit and ask food or a drink but there is also space on the sand if you want to have a nice and tight tan.
