Apiai - all beaches

Without a doubt, this beach is one of the most stunning ones in southern Brazil. The landscape is incredibly lush, thanks to the Integral Protection Area of the state. With no structures in sight, the natural environment remains virtually untouched. It is incredibly beautiful and conveniently accessible, just a short 10-minute drive from any nearby inn. Visiting this beach is definitely worth it.

Praia de águas calmas, pelo menos em março. Nesta praia, há um monumento histórico, um Forte, que segundo os moradores locais, foi construído por ordem de Dom Pedro II para proteger a costa paranaense. No entanto, o estado de conservação do Forte precisa de atenção dos governantes locais. Embora seja mantido pelo Iphan, está em péssimas condições! O acesso está cheio de mato alto e, no mínimo, deveriam cortar o mato.

This beach is supposed to be "top" according to some, but I beg to differ. Sure, the sand is soft and the water is blue, but what about the crowds? It's like everyone in the world decided to come to this particular beach at the same time. Good luck trying to find a spot to lay your towel. And don't even get me started on the overpriced food and drinks being sold by vendors. Save your money and go to a less "top" beach where you can actually relax and enjoy the scenery without feeling like you're at a theme park.

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great during my visit 😔 The beach itself was quite spacious, with sand that tended to get damp. The wind was quite strong and the waves were rough, but there were lifeguards on duty to ensure safety. I noticed a street vendor selling beachwear, and another vendor further down the beach selling food.
