Despite the beauty of this beach, I am only able to leave a two-star review due to an unfortunate incident that occurred during my visit. Regrettably, my wallet, along with my driver's license and ID card, were stolen on January 26th. Despite this setback, it cannot be denied that the natural surroundings of this location are truly breathtaking.

To be honest, this beach is superior to Copacabana and could even compete with Ipanema. Plus, the sand here is golden and fine.
