Baixo Beach Praia de Baixo

4 Demetrio Kleison.

This beach is supposedly "excellent," but let's be real, it's just like any other beach. Sure, the sand is nice and the water is refreshing, but what's so special about that? I guess if you're the type of person who gets excited about gulls screeching and sticky sunscreen, then this is the place for you. As for me, I'll stick to my air-conditioned apartment, thank you very much.

Aracatuba Beach Praia de Aracatuba

8 Silvano Alvi.

The beach is actually comprised of two small stretches of golden sand, with only a handful of houses nearby. To get there, you'll need to take a bumpy dirt road over a hill, which is best navigated with a 4x4 vehicle.
