Itaoca Beach
10 Lorenzo Marini

This place is absolutely stunning! The natural beauty here is well-preserved and vibrant. You'll also find a few traditional caiçara houses in the area.

Antigos Beach
10 Lumina Adventures

This beach can only be reached by trail from Praia do Sono and is quite secluded. There are some creeks that flow into the beach and plenty of shaded areas to relax in. The waves can be quite strong, so I would only recommend it for sunbathing. It's important to note that since it's not a popular spot, swimming can be dangerous without anyone around to help. Additionally, camping is not allowed on the beach as it is part of the Joatinga Reserve.

The beach is a serene and tranquil haven, with pristine waters that are so clear you can see straight through to the ocean floor. The beauty of this place is truly breathtaking, making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat. The calmness of the surroundings is a true balm for the soul, and the crystal clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply lounging on the shore. This beach is a true gem, and a testament to the natural beauty that can be found in our world.

Sono Beach
8 Ribeiro Fernandes

After a grueling trek of 1.5 hours through the untamed jungle, behold! The beach, replete with pristine sands and breathtaking vistas. Sure, you could take the easy way out and hop on a boat, but where's the sense of adventure in that? And once you arrive, you'll find a smorgasbord of dining options, despite the fact that you're essentially marooned on this slice of paradise. And if you're feeling particularly intrepid, there are plenty of camping spots to pitch your tent and soak up the salty sea air all night long.

Antiguinhos Beach
9 Lucinda Baptiste

This stunning location boasts an incredible beach that truly takes your breath away. I embarked on the trail from Praia do Sono, which spans 3 km from Vila Oratorio to reach this paradise. The trail to Praia de Antigos e Antiguinhos can be found on the left corner of Praia do Sono, and while it is a challenging and slippery climb, the reward is well worth the effort. At its highest point, the trail reaches 700 m, but the view of Antigos makes it all worthwhile. And just beyond Antigos lies Antiguinhos, a small but incredibly beautiful beach with soft sand and tranquil waters. It's truly a sight to behold and an experience that will stay with you forever.
