User reviews
"The beach features a stunning view with immaculate sand that is truly remarkable. Many have attested to its cleanliness, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing day by the shore. To get to this beach, one can either take the stairs or venture through a small tunnel from the neighboring Praia de Nossa."
Lysander Cruz
"This beach seems to be the go-to spot for those who enjoy a good morning jog or a quiet stroll. The off-season and early hours of the day provide a serene atmosphere with colorful shells scattered about. If the tide is low, it may be worth trekking through the rocks for a change of scenery. The sunrise paints a picturesque view, but let's be real, it's just another beach."
