This place is absolutely stunning with its pristine sand and crystal-clear water. It's worth noting that the best part is that it's free for the public to enter.

Praia do Barril is quite unique as you have to walk through some swamps to get to it. However, there is a little train available for a small fee or you can just walk. It's worth noting that the beach is free to enter for the public. The only downside is that it's not as big or impressive as the beach of the anchors. But, there are some bars at the end of the beach where you can grab a drink or even something to eat.

This shoreline can be reached by foot or bike, and even a charming little train. Conveniently located parking is available at the trailhead. You'll find a selection of cozy eateries and public restrooms nestled in the quaint former fishing village.
