The 16 best beaches in and around Vila Velha

A fairly short but sweaty walk will get you to the top of this hill and you will be rewarded with beautiful views, especially when the sun is going down. Never go alone and only go on a weekend when it's busy. Apparently people get robbed quite regularly going up.

It's not too long of a hike but it's a very steep and has a lot of a rosian on the trail but the view at the top is wonderful

Fun place to hike to and get great views of the city. Very steep and be very careful!

Spectacular views of Vila Velha and Vitoria from the top. Be sure to buy a popsicle from the vendor near the tippy top.

A 30-minute hike for the most scenic views of Vitoria and Vila Velha that you can possibly get.

It's a great hiking trail to do even without hiking experience. My husband and I hiked up this in flip flops and it took us about 30 minutes. The view from the top is INCREDIBLE!!! I highly recommend anyone living around this area to come do the trail because it's worth it.

A nice urban beach in Vila Velha, just close to the capital, Vitoria. It is a nice place to bring the whole family and enjoy a sunny day.

Nice and calm. Good for chill, fishing and eat

Ok

Still one of the best urban beaches in the whole country - clean water and safe for kids, with lots of fun year-round. Sometimes you can even spot the eventual sea turtle or family of dolphins swimming near the shore.

Wonderful place for people with disabilities, elderly. There us a team from the local municipality who helps us going to the beach and swimming. Good work. Well done

Clean, organized, free Wi-Fi and plenty of vendors along the seaboard. Hungry? Thirsty? No problem! Plenty to choose from and always accompanied by the friendly capixaba service. Visit it. You won't regret it.

Very nice place to stay and to eat. The price of the food on the stands located on the sidewalk along the beach are not so steep.

(Translated by Google) This neighborhood is located in the wonderful city of Vila Velha, near the border with another tourist city, Guarapari. It boasts two charming beaches that suit different tastes. Baleia Beach is perfect for those looking to admire nature and enjoy the sun, with its strong waves creating a vibrant and energetic scene. Rasa Beach, with its calm waters and gentle waves, is ideal for relaxing walks, swimming, and fun times with the kids. Its bucolic setting, with a few beachfront bars, is perfect for a peaceful family getaway. Furthermore, the charming landmark of the Church of Our Lady of Navigators invites visitors to immerse themselves in culture and spirituality. Near the church, a panoramic deck offers stunning views of both beaches, where you can marvel at the natural spectacle of sunrise and sunset, making each day a unique and unforgettable experience. (Original) Este bairro fica na cidade maravilhosa de Vila Velha próximo a divisa com outra cidade turística - Guarapari. Possui duas praias encantadoras que agradam a diferentes gostos. A Praia da Baleia é perfeita para quem busca contemplar a natureza e desfrutar do sol, com suas ondas fortes que garantem um cenário vibrante e cheio de energia. Já a Praia Rasa, de águas calmas e ondas suaves, é ideal para caminhadas relaxantes, banho e momentos divertidos com as crianças, em um ambiente bucólico e com poucos bares à beira-mar, perfeito para aproveitar em família com tranquilidade. Além disso, o charmoso ponto turístico da Igreja de Nossa Senhora dos Navegantes convida os visitantes a uma imersão cultural e espiritual. Próximo à igreja, um deck panorâmico proporciona vistas deslumbrantes das duas praias, onde é possível se maravilhar com o espetáculo natural do nascer do sol e do pôr do sol, tornando cada dia uma experiência única e inesquecível.

(Translated by Google) Very quiet beach, good for those who really want to relax. You have access to Praia da Baleia, more for surfers, the shallow beach, good for swimming and children, being careful with the rocks and taking a (long) walk. You go to Praia da Sereia. There are not many bars and restaurants, the best is Cabana do Rock, the others are just for stopping for a beer or soda. There are almost no street vendors. I have been going there for over 25 years, it used to be better, the sea water has invaded the sand part, after 3 pm there is only water, it wasn't like this (but that's nature). The village has improved, but there is still a long way to go. (Original) Praia muito tranquila, boa pra quem realmente quer descanso, Vc tem acesso a praia da baleia, mais para surfistas, a praia rasa, boa para banhos e crianças, tomando cuidado com as pedras e fazendo uma caminhada ( longa) Vc vai até a praia da sereia. Não há muitos bares e restaurantes, o melhor é a Cabana do rock , os demais apenas para uma parada pra tomar uma cerveja ou refrigerante. Quase não tem ambulantes. Frequento a mais de 25 anos, já foi melhor, a água do mar tem invadido a parte de areia, após as 15 horas só água, não era assim ( mas é a natureza). O lugarejo tem melhorado, mas ainda falta muito.

(Translated by Google) The beach is great, the sea is very calm and shallow, excellent for families with children! On another occasion we stayed at Barraca do Rock, which is excellent, but this time it was closed and we stayed at a nearby shack, with few snack options and no meal options! There is an ice cream shop next door with ice cream cones for R$5 for a scoop and popsicles for R$2, excellent!! It is worth it for the view and the calm sea! (Original) A praia é ótima, mar bem calmo e raso, excelente para famílias com crianças! Em outra oportunidade ficamos na Barraca do rock, que é excelente, mas dessa vez estava fechada e ficamos numa barraca próxima, poucas opções de petiscos e sem opção de refeição! Tem uma.sorveteria ao lado com cascão a R$5 1 bola e picolés a R$2, excelente!! Vale a pena pela vista e o mar calmo!

(Translated by Google) Calm sea, you can walk for meters and meters without waves and you can stand. Lots of humble, delicious stalls and cold beers. The beach has a large strip of sand that goes to Praia da Sereia and Praia do Sol, which are also wonderful, but the sea changes a bit. (Original) Mar calmo, de andar metros e metros sem onda e dando pé. Muitas barracas, humildes, gostosas e cervejas geladas. A praia tem uma faixa de areia grande que sai lá na praia da sereia e do sol que também são maravilhosas, porém o mar muda um pouco.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, quiet beach, great for kids (Original) Praia linda, tranquila, muito boa para crianças

Good beach, although we have better ones this one makes up to its name. No infrastructure though. Worth the visit.

It seems a beach for boats only. Though the view is nice, it is better to go there if you want to get on a boat, or just walking around as we did.

The place is a very bucolic enclave, with beautiful and centenary trees. But it is not a bathing beach, and it never intended to be (at least in the last 2 or 3 centuries). Incidentally, the site appears in the first cartographic surveys of the old Espirito Santo Captaincy, from around 1500. It was already described as a place for mooring boats. In the last many decades it became a fishing boat mooring, similar to Prainha at Vila Velha City Center. And as such, it is in fact quite dirty and generally fishy smelling. Even so, it is beautiful and worth a quick stop early in the morning or late in the afternoon. One day, who knows, those fishing boats will find another place to anchor, and the place will return to being a beach, as it once was (200 to 300 years ago! kkkk).

(Translated by Google) In my work, as , I only photograph, in words, what I see. […] My days, my years, my life have seen ups and downs, lights and darkness. If I wrote only and continually of the “light” and never mentioned the other, then as an artist I would be a liar. (Original) No meu trabalho, como , eu só fotografo, em palavras, o que vejo. […] Meus dias, meus anos, minha vida viu altos e baixos, luzes e trevas. Se eu escrevesse só e continuamente da “luz” e nunca mencionasse o outro, então como artista eu seria um mentiroso.

(Translated by Google) The location is excellent for those seeking a beautiful setting for photos, photo shoots, or nature contemplation. The view is truly breathtaking and makes for great photos. Although the water isn't suitable for swimming, the scenery makes up for it; it's a place worth visiting for the views and tranquility. A plus is its proximity to Bananal Beach, which is right next door. Depending on the time of year, you can swim there, allowing you to visit both beaches on the same day and enjoy your trip even more. A destination that pairs well with those seeking nature, tranquility, and beautiful images to save or share. (Original) O local é excelente para quem busca um cenário bonito para fotos, ensaios ou contemplação da natureza. A vista é realmente deslumbrante e rende ótimos registros. Embora a água não seja própria para banho, a paisagem compensa, é um lugar que vale a visita pelo visual e pela tranquilidade. Um ponto positivo é a proximidade com a Praia do Bananal, que fica logo ao lado. Dependendo da época do ano, é possível tomar banho lá, o que permite visitar as duas praias no mesmo dia e aproveitar melhor o passeio. Um destino que combina bem com quem busca natureza, tranquilidade e boas imagens para guardar ou compartilhar.

(Translated by Google) Where some boats are moored, the view from above is even more pleasant, a calm place (Original) Onde ficam alguns barcos atracados, vista do alto é ainda mais agradável, local calmo

Beautiful views

(Translated by Google) Very quiet place and a great atmosphere to spend the end of the night, safe and good options of places to enjoy. (Original) Lugar muito tranquilo e um ótimo ambiente para passar o final de noite, segurança e boas opções de local para curtir.

(Translated by Google) Well, I use it more to get to the Ruins, the place is amazing, a beautiful postcard to take pictures, but you come across boat carcasses and a lot of dirt, what can you do? visit. (Original) bem uso ela mais para chegar nas Ruínas, o local é show belo cartão postal pra tirar foto, mais você se depara com carcaças de barcos e muita sujeira fazer o que . visite.

(Original) Restaurante com vista incrível para o mar, clima descontraído e atendimento excelente. Pratos bem servidos, frescos e muito saborosos, perfeitos para aproveitar o dia na praia.

(Translated by Google) Everything is very beautiful (Original) Tudo muito lindo

(Translated by Google) Very cool beach, very busy, sometimes the waves are very calm (Original) Praia muito bacana, bem movimentada, por vezes, as ondas são bem tranquilas

(Translated by Google) The best beach in the central region of Vila Velha. I consider it better than Praia da Costa because it is less crowded, and better than Praia de Itaparica because there is less noise (from the kiosks). In addition, the water is calm in between, not too calm like Praia da Sereia (at the end of Praia da Costa), and not too rough like Praia de Itaparica. (Original) A melhor praia da região central de Vila Velha. Considero melhor que a Praia da Costa por ser menos lotada, e melhor que a Praia de Itaparica por ter menos barulho (dos quiosques). Além disso a água é de tranquilidade intermediária, não muito calma como as Praia da Sereia (no final da Praia da Costa), e nem muito agitada como a de Itaparica

(Translated by Google) This beach is in a great location and very popular, and is also very safe, with a municipal guard station. There is a boardwalk that is very popular for physical activities, which is completed with some equipment on the sand. The sand is golden with relatively large grains. The waters are cold, but very clean. It also has a beautiful view of the entire Costa beach and Morro do Moreno. It is a great place to take the family and children. I would just like to warn you that the sea is a little deep and has strong waves. (Original) Praia com ótima localização e muito bem frequentada, além de ser bem segura, contando até com um posto da guarda municipal. Há um calçadão que é muito disputado para a prática de atividades físicas que é completado com alguns equipamentos que ficam na areia. Esta por sua vez é dourada com grãos relativamente grandes. As águas são geladas, mas são bem limpas. Ainda conta com uma bela vista de toda a praia da Costa e do Morro do Moreno. Um ótimo lugar para levar a família e crianças. Apenas alerto para o mar ser um pouco profundo e com ondas fortes.

(Translated by Google) I love coming here with my daughters, whether it's to ride a bike, go for a swim, or even take the youngest to the playground! The people who come here are usually charismatic and polite most of the time! ☺️ (Original) Amo vir aqui com minhas filhas, seja pra pedalar, tomar um banho de mar, ou até mesmo levar a menor ao parquinho! As pessoas que frequentam aqui costumam ser carismáticas e educadas na maioria das vezes! ☺️

(Translated by Google) During the day it is a very beautiful place where you can sunbathe on the white sandy beach, enjoying numerous swims in the crystal clear ocean water; while at night - and here comes the beauty - Itapuà is at its best, among the numerous outdoor venues you can enjoy a good local beer at very low prices and, why not, perhaps in the sweet company of a mulatto girl with a small nose French and green eyes. Have fun and enjoy the life that Itapuà can offer. (Original) Di giorno è un posto molto bello dove ci si può polleggiare al sole sulla spiaggia di sabbia bianca, godendo di numerosi bagni nell'acqua cristallina dell'oceano; mentre di notte - e qui arriva il bello - Itapuà da il meglio di se, tra i numerosi locali all'aperto si può gustare una buona birra locale a prezzi bassissimi e, perchè no, magari in dolce compagnia di una ragazza mulatta con nasino alla francese e gli occhi verdi. Buon divertimento e godetevi la vita che sa offrire Itapuà.

(Translated by Google) Very good beach but the waves are dangerous. (Original) Muito boa praia só que onda são perigosa .

(Translated by Google) This is a little-explored area for tourism. It is a residential area but has a restaurant (Tatuí) and a night bar (Bodega da Fruta) which opens at 9:00 pm and closes at 3:00 am, but if there is activity the bar stays open until sunrise. Imagine enjoying the sunrise facing the beach and watching it rise while drinking a beer or a good wine. Or simply watching the sunrise by the sea sitting on the sand. (Original) Local pouco explorado para o Turismo. É uma área residencial mas conta com um restaurante (Tatuí) e um bar noturno (Bodega da Fruta) o qual abre às 21:00 e fecha às 03:00 da manhã, mas havendo movimento o bar fica aberto até o sol nascer. Imagina vc curtir o sol nascer de frente para praia e ver o sol nascer bebendo uma cerveja ou um bom vinho. Ou simplesmente ver o sol nascer na beira do mar sentado na areia

(Translated by Google) Baleia Beach, in Ponta da Fruta, Espírito Santo, is simply enchanting! With calm, crystal-clear waters, it's perfect for relaxing, walking on the sand, and enjoying a beautiful sunset. The atmosphere is peaceful, ideal for families, couples, or those seeking peace and nature. The view is breathtaking, and the welcoming atmosphere of the locals makes the experience even better. A true hidden retreat in Espírito Santo! I highly recommend it for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and reconnect with the sea.
