User reviews
"Figueira, located in Arraial do Cabo, is a charming district nestled between a lagoon and the vast open sea. This delightful spot offers various amenities such as an inn, ATM, small markets, as well as bars and restaurants that boast stunning views of the lagoon."
Lara Silva Pereira
"The beach is a peaceful spot with a spacious area containing tables and chairs. However, there is a charge of $2.00 to use the bathroom facilities. When I visited on a weekday, it was deserted and quite windy, but it tends to get quite crowded on weekends."
