User reviews
"This beach is a beautiful spot where you can enjoy some peace and quiet, even during Carnival week. You can easily drive right up to the beach and park for either R$20 or R$10. It's conveniently located near the highway and has a great family-friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting this beach."
Nikolai Rodriguez Lopez
"The beach is fantastic - peaceful and well-maintained. Junior's kiosk offers generous portions at a reasonable price, and there is a shower nearby. You can also take a boat to explore nearby islands. I had a great time and would definitely return."
