Praia das Nereidas
10 Rafael Armando

What an amazing beach! We decided to visit after Carnival to get away from the noise and large crowds. The beach was pleasantly quiet, which was perfect for us to fully enjoy our time. The beach itself was stunning and well-maintained, with trees offering shade, lifeguards on duty, clearly marked swimming areas, convenient showers to rinse off sand, and a variety of shops nearby. We had a fantastic day at this beach, as the water was calm and the temperature was just right.
