Wow!!! Beautiful soft white sand beach surrounded by hills of cactus and constantly served by locals for popsicles, fried fish etc.

Beautiful beach with a bit hard walk The water was very good and warm (August) but the access is a bit dangerous. Be ready for local people approaching you to charge you for your parking and offer all kind of adventures. Local police and guards to protect your way to the beach.

Paradise alert! Absolute love this beach. The only way to get there is by boat or trekking. I decided to walk. It took me less than 10 minutes to get to the beach. The views in the way are stunning. I couldn’t believe how beautiful this place was. I love it. Once I got to the beach I got one seat and had delicious food and drinks in front of the water. Amazing!!

Very nice beach, but can get very busy in high season. The boats bringing the people of nearby Cabo Frio to the beach can become a nuisance as they blare their music and it disturbs the peace and quiet. The water is crystal clear, and a sight to behold. There are some walking trails, but you are advised to go in a large group as it might not be save alone

Very beautiful beach but little space when tide is high, so check time before.. good offer of food and drinks and SUP, canues...

Small beach. Good for snorkeling. Difficult to reach. Long walk from a very high point and back. Turtles. Fishes. Squibs. Clear water.

One of the most beautiful beaches I went at state of RJ during my last trip to Brazil!

This place is so beautiful. I travel display and so happy. I travel my family. This place is very good popular is so friendly. This place restaurant is so better Dena Adarsh

Amazing, is the place more beautiful in the world.

Two absolutely beautiful white sand beaches with crystal clear blue water. You can walk between the two beaches if you don't mind getting a little wet.

The place is beautiful, and the sea is cold, it is worth the visit. But, take care. It is extremely expensive. R$15 a taxi to go up R$15 to go back, they block the street, Uber is not allowed. If you are going to eat at the beach, ask before, everything is insanely expensive. You are not going to pay less than R$150 for something to eat. Go early, around midday it gets crowded.

one of the most beautiful places in the cabo frio area

very beautiful, but do yourself a favor and do not go for a weekend it is completely horrible there are too many people

This is a beautiful place that I've ever seen in my life...the water is so clean and blue....the sand is so delicious to walk...the view is wonderful. Everyone must go there one time

Beautiful beach, but it's military preserved, so you can't stay and enjoy more then 30-40 minuts. You have to take a boat tour to get there, and you can imagine how many people are on the small beach and so many boats around. It's an experience..

Beautiful beach, clear water and fine (very fine) sand. This beach belongs to a preserved area run by Brazilian Navy. There are rules to be followed and places you can't go. Nonetheless, is a great place to swim and rest in the sand.

This beautiful beach is only accessible by boat, and is near a Brazil navy site, so you're limited to only 40 minutes on the beach and you can't bring much with you on the beach. But all of that helps keep the beach very clean and less busy. The waters here are crystal clear. You can see the sand below you even when you're deep in the water.

Very nice beach. It's very clean and beautiful. Too bad you can only stay there for 40 minutes.

Mega beautiful and clean beach. Just reachable by boat. Only too crowded during the weekend/bank holiday.

Nice crystal clear water at beach

You can stay there just for a few minutes and it's too crowded. But it worths the visit!

We actually saw a group of whales from here!

Beautiful spot, and amazing experiences you can get here in a car or in the entry of this property are taxis available, only 200 cars can get in so wake up early.

100% worth spending the day here. Boat trips stop here too. Totally worth it!

A must whenever visiting arraial do cabo! The passeio in the boats it’s super affordable and staff it’s super friendly! I’ve been here a couple of times already and it’s the best vibe from town

One of the best spots at Arraial do Cabo (Brazil) !! A breathtaking view all around !!

The pictures didn't do justice on how vast the horizon is and how amazing the sunset was in this mirante. Bring insect repellant.

Scenic turnout overlooking the ocean with a nice view of a couple of small rugged islands and waves crashing against the rocky cliffs. A low rock wall and several rocks jutting out from the hill give some nice photo ops. Water ranges from turquoise to a deep purple-blue. I don't think you are supposed to park, but there is space for a few cars while you take a couple of photos. No beach access from here.

(Translated by Google) Today, Sunday 03/16/25 at 8:00 am, I had the grace to attend mass at the Nossa Senhora dos Remédios Parish in Arraial do Cabo. It was a moment of faith and reflection that strengthened my soul. For those who wish to experience this celebration, I recommend arriving at least 20 minutes early, as the church, although beautiful, is small and seating is limited. During mass, I was graced with a gesture of generosity that touched me deeply. Mrs. Adozina, in an act of pure Christian love, did not hesitate to make room for me to watch the celebration. Even though she was seated behind a pillar, she squeezed in, asked her friend to do the same, and offered me a seat from where I could see the altar better. As if that were not enough, she even offered me hand sanitizer, demonstrating a simple but meaningful act of affection. Attitudes like this reflect the essence of true Christianity: caring for others, sharing, and love without limits. My eternal gratitude to this lady with such a generous soul, who reminded me that faith is expressed, above all, in acts of kindness. May we always find and be instruments of God's grace in each other's lives. (Original) Hoje, domingo 16/03/25 às 08:00, tive a graça de participar da missa na Paróquia Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, em Arraial do Cabo. Um momento de fé e reflexão que fortaleceu minha alma. Para quem deseja vivenciar essa celebração, recomendo chegar com pelo menos 20 minutos de antecedência, pois a igreja, embora belíssima, é pequena e os lugares são limitados. Durante a missa, fui agraciada com um gesto de generosidade que me tocou profundamente. A Sra. Adozina, em um ato de puro amor cristão, não hesitou em abrir espaço para que eu pudesse assistir à celebração. Mesmo estando acomodada atrás de uma pilastra, ela se apertou, pediu que sua amiga fizesse o mesmo e me ofereceu um lugar de onde eu pudesse ver melhor o altar. Como se não bastasse, ainda me ofereceu álcool em gel, demonstrando um carinho simples, mas cheio de significado. São atitudes como essa que refletem a essência do verdadeiro cristianismo: o cuidado com o próximo, a partilha e o amor sem medidas. Meu eterno agradecimento a essa senhora de alma tão generosa, que me lembrou que a fé se expressa, acima de tudo, nos gestos de bondade. Que possamos sempre encontrar e ser instrumentos da graça de Deus na vida uns dos outros.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church in the center of Arraial do Cabo. It's a shame that during my visit, a stage was being set up for a show in front of the church, making the place look very ugly. (Original) Belo templo no centro de Arraial do Cabo. Pena que em minha visita, na frente da Igreja estava sendo montado palco para show, fazendo o lugar ficar muito feio.

(Translated by Google) The first church built in Brazil and the site of the first closed mass. Some say it was built in 1503, others in 1506. The site holds regular masses on Sunday mornings, as well as religious events. (Original) Primeira igreja construída no Brasil e local da primeira missa fechada. Alguns dizem que foi erguida em 1503, outros em 1506. O local tem missas regulares no domingo pela manhã, além de eventos religiosos.

(Translated by Google) This church is beautiful, very small. To participate in Holy Mass you have to arrive early, because it is small, if you don't arrive early you will be left standing. Mass on Sundays starts at 8 am. (Original) Lindinha essa igreja, bem pequena pra participar da Santa Missa tem que chegar cedo, por ser pequena se não chegar cedo ficará em pé. A missa aos domingos começa às 08h da manhã.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful and welcoming little church with a lot of history! It dates back to 1503! It is located very close to the port of Arraial do Cabo and is a must-see for photos! Its interior is very simple, but no less impressive for all the history it holds. Unfortunately, it is closed most of the day, only opening at specific times for masses. It is worth stopping for photos! (Original) Igrejinha linda e acolhedora, de muita história! Inacreditavelmente datada do ano de 1503! Ela está localizada bem próxima ao porto de Arraial do Cabo e é parada obrigatória para fotos! Seu interior é bem simples, mas não menos impressionante por toda história que carrega. Infelizmente passa a maior parte do dia fechada, só abrindo em horários específicos para missas. Vale a parada para fotos!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful! Built in 1503, known as the first church in Brazil, simple and full of history. Closed for a long time. We were unable to open it. Beautifully lit for Christmas! (Original) Linda! Construída em 1503, conhecida como a primeira igreja do Brasil, simples e cheia de história. Maior tempo fechada. Não conseguimos cer aberta. Lindamente iluminada para o natal!

Without any doubt the most beautiful beach in the area mainly because it's sort of a secret and you won't have to share it with many . Worth the hike!

A pintoresque place. Tiny beach frequented mostly by surfers. Gorgeous waves, with tubes, no strong currents and very few people around. Of course! The walk down to the beach from Rua Projectada is really treacherous and going all the way up is a workout! 15.3% climb and the last 40 meters before touching sand is pretty slippery. If you have a degree on walking with flip flops then don't be scared. If not...sneakers are a safer choice.

This place is breathtaking! The view ! And The Beach is for surfers. If you want to see waves go in the evening.

Magical place

You couldn't get to the beach due to a high tide, but the view was great and we even saw a couple of whales from a distance.

Beautiful beach but please take rubbish home. It is disgusting and sad.

A little sketchy to get to but amazing beach, very small.

King Kong

Unusual rock formation! But you only pass by.

(Translated by Google) It's one of those places you don't look for in a guidebook, but once you've seen it, you'll love it. Almost everyone visits it by boat and has a view from the sea. We opted for the view from land after following the short trail that leads us through cacti, vegetation, and birds, to admire the entire landscape around Macaque Rock and Pontal Island in Arraial do Cabo. (Original) Es uno de esos lugares que no buscas en guías, pero que una vez avistado te encanta. Casi todos lo recorren en embarcaciones y tienen la perspectiva desde el mar. Nosotros optamos por la vista desde tierra luego de recorrer el pequeño sendero que nos lleva entre cactus, vegetación y aves, a admirar todo el paisaje en torno a la Piedra del Macaco y la Isla do Pontal en Arraial do Cabo.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful scenery. A hike to enjoy an incredible sunset. With luck, you might even see whales in the area. Recommended. (Original) Hermoso paisaje. Una caminata para disfrutar de un atardecer increíble. Con suerte se pueden ver ballenas en la zona. Recomendable

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, quiet natural area. A small path leads to a cliff with a view of the sea. (Original) Schöner ruhiger Natur Bereich. Vor Ort führt ein kleiner Pfad zu einer Klippe mit Aussicht auf das Meer

Praia Grande. AMAZING BEACH

Lovely walk on the beach.. Beautiful Brazilian actress.

Great place to watch the sunset.

You can find tartarugas here ! Snorkel along the coast, BEWARE OFF THE SEA URCHIN

Beautiful beach, can be reached via a short walk. Great for snorkeling

(Translated by Google) My partner (Dani) and I took a trip to Arraial do Cabo with the crew of the Shangri Lá Tur on 24/05. It was a unique and indescribable experience due to the beauty and magic of the place, a paradise on earth... We were very well looked after and advised by the entire crew of the boat, from the captain to the bar, we can only thank everyone, especially the DJ of the boat who with his friendliness and politeness took some beautiful photos of the couple. Top marks to the team of the Shangri Lá Tur, congratulations. (Original) Minha companheira (Dani) e eu fizemos um passeio ao Arraial do Cabo com a tripulação do Shangri Lá Tur dia 24.05. Foi uma experiência única e indescritível pela beleza e magia do lugar, um paraíso na terra... Fomos muito bem atendidos e assessorados por toda equipe do barco, do capitão ao bar, só temos agradecimentos a todos, em especial ao DJ do barco que com sua simpatia e educação fez algumas fotos lindas do casal. Nota máxima para equipe da Shangri Lá Tur, estão de parabéns.

(Translated by Google) If it weren't for the rudeness of one of the photographers (who wasn't just with us) the rating would be 5 stars. Excellent tour. Super organized and it wasn't super crowded like other boats I've seen around. (Original) Se não fosse a falta de educação de uma das fotógrafas (que não foi só conosco) a nota seria 5 estrelas. Passeio excelente. Super organizado e não foi super lotado como outros barcos que já vi por aí.

(Translated by Google) On Thursday we took the boat ride, everything was very good. The first-class guide girls were very attentive, the crew was very careful about the rules and the girls at the bar were geniuses. Super recommended 🇧🇷🇦🇷🚢🚢 (Original) El día Jueves hicimos el paseo en barco, todo muy bien .Las chicas guías de primera muy atentas, la tripulación muy cuidadosa de las normas y las chicas del bar una genias. Super recomendable 🇧🇷🇦🇷🚢🚢

(Translated by Google) The trip is correct, the times on each beach are short. The atmosphere... bad, loud music, speakers that distort and stun. On my trip, people could tell that they did not enjoy such illogically elevated music. I wish there were some of these cooler ones to enjoy those incredible beaches and landscapes. (Original) El viaje es correcto, los tiempos en cada playa cortos. El ambiente… malo, musica fuerte, parlantes que distorsionan y aturden. En mi viaje la gente se notaba que no disfrutaba de la música tan ilógicamente elevada. Ojalá hubiera alguno de estos mas cool para disfrutar esas increíbles playas y paisajes.

(Translated by Google) I enjoyed the tour, but the stops on the islands were very quick. I didn't like the music very much, I think a song with a lighter, beachy vibe would be more appropriate. I already listen to Sofrência, bregafunk involuntarily on a daily basis. My humble opinion. (Original) Gostei do passeio , porém foram paradas muito rápidas nas ilhas. As músicas não curti muito, acho que um som com uma vibe mais leve, de praia seria mais adequado. Sofrência, bregafunk já escuto involuntariamente no dia-a-dia. Minha humilde opinião.

(Translated by Google) I enjoyed the boat trip, but getting on and off the boats to see the beaches is very bad and dangerous. The life jackets were in terrible condition and do not provide any safety. They are only on the boat to say that they are there. Getting on and off is done in a hurry and no one checks to see if everyone is safe before leaving, including children. My suggestion is that they do as another company I saw there did. The life jackets are super new and safe. They are kept inside the boat when you get on and off, so if an accident happens, everyone is safe. (Original) Gostei do passeio de barco, porém a descida e subida nos botes para conhecer as praias é muito ruim e perigosa, os coletes estavam em péssimo estado, não dão segurança alguma, estão no bote apenas para dizer q tem, a entrada e saída é feita às pressas e ninguém confere se estão todos seguros antes de sair, inclusive crianças, minha sugestão é que façam como uma outra empresa que observei lá, os coletes super novos e seguros, ficam dentro do barco ao entrar e sair a pessoa já está vestida, caso ocorra um acidente, estão todos seguros.

(Translated by Google) It meets all the requirements of a successful company. Excellent service via WhatsApp, always willing to help. In person, the Shangri La team is extremely polite and there is a lot of fun!!! Whenever I am in Arraial do Cabo, the schooner ride is a sure thing! I highly recommend it!!! (Original) Atende todos os requisitos de uma empresa de sucesso. Excelente atendimento via whatsap, sempre solicitos a ajudar. Pessoalmente a Galera da Shangri La é de extrema educação e rola muita + muita animação!!! Sempre que estou em Arraial do Cabo, o passeio de escuna já está garantido! Super indico!!!
