A praia é muito bonita e bem deserta (não tem bares ou outroa tipos de estabelecimento) na parte parte em que os barcos não ficam atracados. Para quem gosta de tranquilidade, é uma ótima opção, sem falar que a vista que essa praia tem e seu por do sol são exuberantes. Ao se tomar banho, deve-se ter cuidado porque a correnteza é um pouco forte.

Bem escondida, mas vale a pena fazer uma trilha até chegar lá. Umas das praias mais lindas que já conheci.

#repost @viajadosraiz __ ILHA DE ITAPUTIUA (RAPOSA MARANHÃO) . . Esta Praia fica na Ilha de São Luís, no município de Raposa, uma vila de pescadores de pouco mais de 20 mil habitantes e cerca de 28 km do centro da capital maranhense. . Seu nome Itaputiua significa "Caminho de Pedra", devido as pedras de uma das trilhas que dão acesso a praia. Segundo o guia local, Anderson Rodrigues Costa, ela não chega a ser uma novidade para os moradores da Raposa que há muitos anos passavam o domingo lá, onde os pescadores chamavam de Mujijaia, Mas que atualmente preferem ir para a praia de Carimã, no outro lado! e esta acaba ficando praticamente deserta. . . . A Ilha do Itaputiua é Discreta é cheia de belezas naturais, contemplar essa ilha é uma experiência única que pode ser realizada na Raposa! . Para chegar lá existem duas maneiras. A primeira é por uma trilha pelo bairro da Juçara. A outra é por barco saindo na praça do Viva Pescador. . Para Quem faz a primeira viagem é necessário um guia ou alguém que já conheça a cidade. . Com a água em tom de verde esmeralda, a ilha ainda tem sua beleza rústica preservada, o que faz com o que passeio seja encantador. . . .
