Surfers have a great place at Setibão Beach to demonstrate all their skills on the board. The high waves are caused by strong winds that blow in the region and make the place look postcardlike. Setibão Beach Attractions Located within Paulo César Vinha State Park and 13 kilometers from Guarapari, nature is abundant in all its forms. Setibão (also known as the Mermaid Beach) is not urban like the other beaches of Guarapari. For sunbathers, especially children, the waters are more dangerous, with caution prevailing. The winners are surfers and windsurfers who relentlessly enjoy the great waves.

Know before you go

  • Arrive early to enjoy playing in the waves with children before noon when they become deeper and more dangerous
  • Stay between Setibão Beach and Setiba Pina if you have children to access both beaches simultaneously
  • Bring an umbrella, water, and snacks as there are no kiosks or vendors available on the beach
  • Climb nearby rocks for a chance to observe turtles in the sea

Reviews

Setibão Beach, also known as Mermaid Beach, is a haven for surfers and windsurfers due to its high waves caused by strong winds. Located within Paulo César Vinha State Park near Guarapari, the beach offers abundant nature but is not urban like other beaches in the area. Visitors can find protected areas with turtle nests and enjoy a unique experience on this natural and empty beach without facilities like bathrooms or kiosks.

(Translated by Google) It is a beach with a lot of waves, but if you arrive early enough, you can play in the waves with children. Around noon, you can't do it anymore, because the sea starts to pull the sand away, making it much deeper and more dangerous. If you have children, it is best to stay between the beach and Setiba Pina, so you can enjoy both beaches at once. You can find protected areas with turtle nests. And if you have the patience, climb the rock nearby and watch the turtles in the sea. You have to be prepared with an umbrella and bring water. There are no kiosks or vendors. (Original) É uma praia com bastante ondas, mas se chegar bem cedinho dá pra brincar nas ondas com criança, próximo do meio dia já não dá mais, porque o mar vai puxando a areia que vai ficando bem mais funda e perigosa. Quem tem criança, é bom ficar entre ela e Setiba pina, assim dá pra aproveitar as duas praias de uma vez só. É possível encontrar locais protegidos com ninhos de tartaruga. E se você tiver paciência, suba na pedra alí perto e observe as tartarugas no mar. Tem que ir preparado com guarda sol e levar água. Não tem quiosques nem ambulantes.
