This is the most stunning beach I have ever laid eyes on. However, it is important to be mindful of the environment and not leave any trash or plastic behind. Additionally, there is a concern with oil pollution from boats in the area.

Can only be reached by sea. It's worth noting that it's located near a Brazilian navy site, which means visitors are restricted to only 40 minutes on the shore and are advised to bring minimal belongings.
