Very cool spot.

Long beach

Praia de Valmitao
10 Kieran Novak.

We exchanged our vows in a cozy wedding ceremony at this breathtaking beach. The pristine shoreline and crystal-clear waters created an idyllic backdrop for our special day. The soft sand and gentle waves added a touch of romance to the atmosphere. This beach is truly a gem, perfect for intimate gatherings and cherished memories.

Ok

Praia de Porto Dinheiro
10 Khalil Rahman

What a magnificent location! The beach is absolutely charming, spotless and tranquil with a serene absence of any waves. It was an ideal place for children to relish the low tide. The beach is equipped with numerous amenities including restrooms, showers, parking, and several eateries and cafes. The water was perfect for swimming, not excessively chilly compared to other beaches in the vicinity.

Praia Azul
10 Aurora Laroche.

The beach is absolutely fantastic, particularly when the weather is favorable. It's an excellent spot for novice surfers to hone their skills. It's also one of my favorite places to visit at dawn.
