Excellent!!!

Sao Pedro Beach
8 Jolyn Caris

This idyllic beach is a true gem, but be sure to arrive early on weekends to secure a spot in the limited parking lot, found in the private house area of São Pedro and Tijucopava. If the lot is full, be prepared to wait in line for an available spot. It's important to note that this beach is only accessible by car, as public transportation requires a lengthy walk to the beach. There are no snack options available, so be sure to bring your own food. Bathroom and shower facilities are located by the parking lot, with a natural cold-water shower close to Tijucopava beach. Please note that elderly individuals or those with mobility issues may have difficulty accessing the beach due to stairs and a lack of accessible options.

The beach is absolutely perfect! It has golden fine sand that is just amazing. I couldn't ask for a better place to relax and soak up the sun. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great beach experience.

Paranapua Beach
9 Dr. Josiah Peder

A place where the sun, sand, and salty air come together to create the perfect environment for relaxation and fun. It's a top destination for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But let's be real, the beach isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Sand gets everywhere, sunscreen is a must (unless you want to look like a lobster), and the water can be freezing cold. And don't even get me started on the crowds. It's like everyone in the world decided to go to the beach at the same time. Despite all of this, there's something undeniably magical about the beach. Maybe it's the sound of the waves crashing against the shore or the feeling of the sun on your skin. Or maybe it's just the fact that you can spend the whole day doing absolutely nothing and not feel guilty about it. So, if you're looking for a top destination to unwind and soak up some vitamin D
