The beach is fantastic, with a generally peaceful ocean. It's especially serene in the mornings, with only a few people around. It gets a bit busier in the afternoons, but it's still manageable. You can rent stand-up paddleboards and kayaks, as well as umbrellas and chairs. There are also boat trips available in the mornings and afternoons for a fee. Additionally, there are several kiosks and the traditional Bar do Birdinho. At the end of the beach, you'll find the trailhead leading to Guarda do Embaú, Vale da Utopia, Praia do Maço, or Praia da Andorinhas.
