The beach has gray sand and unfortunately, it seems to be neglected as there are a lot of stones and litter scattered around. It's a shame that no one seems to take responsibility for keeping it clean.

Praia das Dunas Beach

This beach is an absolute gem, a true paradise for those seeking a slice of heaven on earth. The soft sand and crystal clear waters are simply breathtaking, and the gentle breeze is like a soothing balm for the soul. It's hard not to feel relaxed and at peace in such a stunning setting.
