This particular beach is located closer to Paraty than Angra, taking approximately 42 minutes to reach by car. A free parking lot is available, and on less crowded days, there is always space. During my visit in October, the beach was empty on a Saturday. Access to the beach is through a condominium, which only allows residents and guests to enter by car. If you are able, I highly recommend taking the walk, although it may be difficult for wheelchair users due to the steep descent and ascent later on. The beach has a "tumble" style, meaning that a few meters away from the shore, the ground is no longer stable. However, the water is calm with no waves, only gentle oscillations. The sand is soft and white, and there are chairs and umbrellas available for rent at 50 reais. Additionally, snacks and portions are available for purchase, and if the consumption reaches 80 reais, the table is free. Some may view
I really enjoy this beach. Compared to the other beaches in Angra, this one has more waves and can be challenging, but that's what makes it perfect for me.
The tranquil and invigorating waters offer a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The beach is petite and polished, providing a cozy spot to soak up the sun and unwind.
I had high hopes for a stunning and enjoyable beach experience, thanks to glowing reviews. However, reality hit hard with a pungent stench, rusted metal remnants littering the sand (and I couldn't discern if the water was contaminated based on the odor), grimy sand, and a complete lack of amenities. Needless to say, this is a destination I won't be revisiting.
