Attraction and Infrastructure

As for the main features of the beaches of Brazil, they are as follows:

  • The country's beaches are mainly wide, long and have a high level of cleanliness. The most common surface is sand of bright color.
  • Usually, entry into the water is gentle, which is very good for kids. There are 1228 such beaches.
  • An important clarification, 716 beaches in the country have a long intertidal zone, which means that during low tide hours you may have to travel a considerable distance. This is also something to consider if you don't want to suddenly be in the water at high tide.
  • The average distance from the road to beach in Brazil is less than 500 meters. 1499 beaches are relatively easy to access, 59 beaches are difficult to access, which in most cases means that you have to walk a quite long distance, and 122 beaches are only accessible from the water. The latter include both island beaches and beaches with no land routes due to the natural borders.

The vast majority of Brazil beaches have the necessary amenities, such as sun loungers, umbrellas, beach cafes, showers and toilets.

Just normal

Please note that lifeguards supervise 556 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
