Santiago - all beaches

This is an amazing spot for swimming, surfing, and exploring the rocks.

The country boasts the most breathtaking sunset at this beach.

We really enjoyed the trail to Praia Brava. Initially, we considered taking the Petrobrás pipeline trail based on some recommendations, but we found it to be unsafe and not advisable. Instead, we opted for the Google trail, which had a more secure structure. We didn't want to put ourselves at unnecessary risk. However, on our return journey, we followed the suggestion from the city hall and Google, and it turned out to be a peaceful and enjoyable experience. It was definitely worth it.

The beach is truly a magnificent destination that will leave you in awe. Its natural beauty is unparalleled, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore is so soothing. The warm sun rays on your skin and the refreshing sea breeze will make you feel rejuvenated. It's a perfect spot to relax and unwind, and the crystal clear water is perfect for swimming or enjoying water sports. The sand is soft and golden, and you can take long walks along the shoreline while enjoying the breathtaking views. This place is a true gem and a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and the beach.

The beauty of this beach is truly surreal, a sight that will leave you breathless. However, it's important to note that leaving your car on the street may result in a fine. Despite being informed by acquaintances that it was safe to do so, I unfortunately learned the hard way. To avoid any issues, taking the bus (which has a stop nearby) or walking along the highway (although it can be dangerous due to the lack of a shoulder and many curves) are safer options. Nevertheless, the beach is absolutely worth the visit, offering a serene and picturesque environment that will make all the effort worthwhile.

Located a hop, skip, and a jump away from Maresias lies a beach that's so-so. Parking is a breeze, but don't get too excited because the beach itself is just surrounded by a bunch of trees. Sure, there's plenty of real estate to spread out on, but don't forget to bring your own umbrella because the only shade you'll find is from the trees. If you're feeling peckish or parched, there are a few vendors hawking their wares, but don't expect to rent any water toys or have a lifeguard on duty. All in all, it's a beach.
