The scenery is stunning, with a deep blue sea and refreshingly cool water with minimal waves. There are plenty of options for those who wish to camp out, and I highly recommend it.

The Genipabu Dunes provide a stunning backdrop to this beach, which is clean and peaceful. During the pandemic, it is possible to take a mask-free stroll and enjoy the tranquility of the practically deserted beach. If you're looking for a paradise-like place to relax, this is the spot for you. However, if you're looking for a party, head to Ponta Negra.

The beach has both rough and calm waters in different areas. Unfortunately, the internet service is terrible. There is a lot of litter on the beach and in the streets. The trade structure is adequate, with many fishmongers. However, it is a great place to take a stroll and the water is delicious for swimming in the morning and afternoon.
