Let's not waste time gushing about the stunning beauty of this beach. Instead, let me give you some practical advice: steer clear of this place on weekends and holidays if you want to avoid the maddening crowds. And forget about trying to get there on your own - trust me, it's a nightmare. Your best bet is to book a private tour, ideally by boat from praia dos anjos. Unless you're up for a grueling trek or an ungodly early wake-up call (think 7am on weekends) just to find a parking spot on the road above the beach. If you're really desperate to avoid boats, then hail a taxi to take you to the entrance of the road leading to the beach.

There are two stunning beaches with immaculate white sand and breathtakingly clear blue water that await you. If you don't mind getting your feet wet, you can easily walk between the two beaches. The scenery is simply magnificent and will leave you in awe.
