Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia

Reviewed By marcusrjr - Sao Paulo, Brazil

You can get to this beach by boat (average R$ 10 per person) or walking(this option you will need to enter Pontal do Atalaia by taxi or R$ 20 per car). It can be really crowded, you better arrive early and avoid weekends. Tje san is brigjt white and the sea is really blue. The water is very cold though. ( in Arraial do Cabo all of the beaches have a really cold water). This is the beach where there is a famous stair that evertbody takes some pictures. Please follow us on instagram: @mapamunditravel

Baia do Sancho

Reviewed By camazine - Boalsburg, United States

Considered by some to be the best beach in the world, this is certainly my favorite. The beach can only be reached by a walk through a wooded area along a boardwalk, followed by a descent down a long ladder through a rock crevice. Access to the beach is restricted, and is never crowded. Indeed, there are few people and if you go early in the morning, the beach is all yours. One needs to purchase a pass to obtain entrance to the national park beaches on the island of Fernando de Noronha. I felt it was certainly worthwhile to support the conservation efforts and maintenance of Noronha’s many beaches. Your pass gives you access to all the beaches in the park system.

Saco do Mamangua Beach

Reviewed By NewWorldSurfer - San Francisco, United States

Like most special places in the World, you pay dues to get there. If it is too easy it is ruined by overcrowding and inconsiderate people. The big issue here is the last 5 kilometers of the "road" to Paraty Mirim. Heavily washboarded and lots of mud. We made it in a rental car but if was rainy would be very easy to get stuck in the shin deep mud. 4X4 better, with higher ground clearance but lots do it in regular cars. Parking 20R for the day. The boatman would not go lower than 250R return despite dozens of boats and not so many customers. We are FIT travellers and refuse to go on tours with groups. This was true even before the Wuhan plague but all the more critical now. We did see the small bus so you can do it the cheap way for less than the cost of parking. The main beach was soso and crowded. You must hire boat to get to the world class beaches in the Saco (fjord) of Mamangua itself. The drive first suggested taking us to a beach with a restaurant which we declined. We bring our own cooler with food and deinks and asked for the best beach (which means undeveloped). Euginho Beach did not disappoint. Freshwater stream emerging from pile of rounbded rocks which meets the sea and very pristine sand , HUGE shade tree and restroom are only "facilities". and reef.

This beach is stunning with awesome views in any direction. Weekdays are the best time to go as it is busy on the weekends. A very special and relaxing afternoon was enjoyed by all on a quiet weekday...

Superb for swimming. I go every morning and afternoon. No sharks , they rather stay in Recife. Very beautiful bay and quiet as well. I imagine Rio de Janeiro was more or less the same in the fifties and every sixties

We went at 9am and we were the only ones there. Going early is awesome because it is beautiful and empty. The beach is really long and has a natural feel to is because there aren't any restaurants or houses on the beach, just trees and sand. Great for surfing

Felix Beach

Reviewed By StefanoS476 - Azzano Decimo, Italy

If you want that your friends envy you, send them a picture showing you are here. Place is beautiful, beach is beautiful, sea is beautiful There are some services and you can relax in the beach eating some fingerfood, drinking a fresh beer and relaxing just looking the sea in the shadow of the tree. There are also some more energetic activities such as surfing, kayaking, etc. and also snorkeling, in the south part of the beach give you lot of emotions Wonderful place, calm and relaxing far from the messy area
