The beach boasts crystal clear, shallow waters that are incredibly peaceful. During our visit, the water was warm and transparent, making for an enjoyable experience. The white sand is impeccably clean and provides a serene environment to relax and appreciate nature. There's a restaurant on the beach that's connected to Pousada da Crena, but it's open to tourists and swimmers as well. However, the prices are a bit steep as they charge an additional 10% artistic cover fee. We visited on a weekday in January, so it's hard to say what it's like on weekends. Overall, it's a delightful beach and I would definitely return.

This beach boasts a stunning view and a restaurant where you can spend the whole day. The restaurant is very typical of Brazilian beach cuisine, with mostly deep-fried options and no vegetarian choices. As a vegan, I was limited to fried manioc and a side of rice, which was quite expensive considering the lack of options. However, the live music was fantastic and overall, I enjoyed my experience. It would be great if the restaurant owners on this beautiful island could shift towards healthier and more sustainable options, as the current menu can become repetitive and uninspiring.

The beach is stunning and tucked away, with tranquil waters that resemble a pool. However, reaching it requires either a boat or a trail that was challenging due to rocky terrain, slippery leaves, and steep climbs. As someone who is not very active, I found it tough and worried about the return journey. Thankfully, a boat was available for the trip back to Abraão. The kiosk's prices were high, but the music and service made it worth it.
