To reach Praia de Palva, also known as Segredo, one must take a trail starting from Jeribucaçu and pass through Praia dos Corais. In Arruda, you can either follow the rocks on the edge or take a right towards the lagoon at the top of the hill. The trail is peaceful and serene. The beach is well-maintained and definitely worth visiting.
The beach was nothing special. The sand was dirty and the water was murky. There were too many people and not enough space to relax. I would not recommend this beach to anyone. The beach failed to impress me. The sand was unclean and the water was cloudy. The overcrowded beach left no room for peaceful unwinding. This beach is not worth recommending to anyone.
