Fairly lively beach, with quite a few (paid) activities on offer, including banana boating. It's short (barely 2 minutes), but if there are not too many people and there are several of you, there is a way to negotiate a fair price - for an additional fee, you can also obtain the filmed video by a drone. The teenagers are happy to have done it, but being towed by a jet-ski, you get a lot of salt in your face - and the smell of fuel...

We went in high season, January 2024. Dirty beach, crowded with people, full of dogs, speedboats everywhere. There are points where you see sewage falling onto the beach, a sad feeling. Parking the car is also very difficult, it took more than 40 minutes to get a space.
In the end, Maragogi is better on YouTube videos.

The beach is beautiful, the sea is wonderful, the structure of tents is fantastic. However, street vendors have priority. The beach is completely taken over by boats that park in the bathing area waiting hours for the tide to go out. You swim between boats.

This beach is narrowing due to erosion. But, it has a spectacular sandspit that reaches almost to the reefs. Tourists can walk out a marvel at the views.

Perfect for a swim in a quiet beach with turquoise colored water and white sand. Great place if you want to avoid crowded places and street vendors

Now I can understand why people call this area "the Brazilian Caribe". The color of its sea is absolutely amazing. There aren´t many houses or resorts around, so, it´s almost a "private" beach.It has warm, calm water.There are some restaurants where we may have some delicious sea food, and it´s walking distance from maragogi beach, which is also charming and a bit busier.

Shallow Waters, very clear, lots and lots of different species of fish. Shorter folks will find it a lot more enjoyable than the gales.
