This is a secluded and exclusive beach. In Brazil, all beaches are public but you can restrict the access if they are harder to reach. You have to pass the condo border in order to reach here. Maybe there are other way. Anyhow, this is a nice beach to hang out and enjoy.
Calm, but too many boats and jet-skis

Such an amazing place 🔥🩵
amazing place, high waves, few people, and lots of green areas
(Translated by Google) A steep beach, but a very pleasant place to spend the late afternoon and evening. The beach is clean and most of the dirt is made up of dry branches and leaves. I recommend it if you are nearby and want to spend some time enjoying nature without being too crowded. (Original) Praia de tombo, porém bem gostoso para passar o final da tarde e entardecer. A praia é limpa e a maior parte da sujeira são galhos e folhas secas. Recomendo se estiver próximo e quiser passar um tempo apreciando a natureza sem estar cheio de gente.

There's some to know about things there
(Translated by Google) The museum is very well located (downtown), facing the church square and the bandstand, and also close to the shops and restaurants. The artistic and cultural experience that the museum offers is immersive, there are some rooms where you really get into the scene and in many of them you can have a tactile experience of the pieces. The only thing I missed was the ambiance in some of the rooms, which would be the background sounds that make you immerse yourself even more in a particular exhibition. Note: This is not directly related to the museum organizers, but they did not take care of the noise in any of the rooms, there were a lot of people talking loudly, and a speaker playing FM in one of the rooms. However, it is definitely worth the visit! (Original) O museu é muito bem localizado (centro), fica de frente com a praça da igreja e do coreto, próximo também das lojinhas e restaurantes. A experiência artística e cultural que o museu oferece é imersiva, existem algumas salas onde você realmente entra dentro da cena e muitas delas é possível ter a experiência tátil nas peças. Senti falta apenas de ambiência em algumas das salas, que seriam os sons de fundo que te aprofundam ainda mais em determinada exposição. Obs: Não se implica diretamente aos organizadores do museu, mas não havia cuidado com o barulho em nenhuma das salas, muita gente conversando alto, e caixa de som tocando FM em uma das salas. Contudo, vale a visita sem dúvidas!
(Translated by Google) Very good to learn about the history of the city. Great stop for those on vacation here. (Original) Muito bom pra conhecer a história bea cidade. ótima parada pra quem está de férias por aqui.
