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.

Angra dos Reis' mainland lacks the sight of a picturesque blue/green shore. However, the Brava beach is a splendid and secure location with crystal clear waters and a non-steep shore. The waves are mild and gentle, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. Nonetheless, it's essential to arrive before 9 am as the entrance gate controls the number of visitors. Failing to do so may result in being denied entry.

This sandy paradise is the perfect spot to waste away your day, soaking up the rays and watching the waves crash. Whether you're looking to catch some surf or just chill out with a good book, the beach has got you covered. So pack up your sunscreen and your flip flops and head on over to the shore – you won't be disappointed!
