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.

One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to. You can get a taxi boat out from Abroaa to Pousa ( 25 real) and from there it’s a 15 minute walk through the jungle to get here. White sandy beaches and crystal blue water will greet you on arrival! Be prepared it gets quite busy but you can walk much further down the beach to get a quiet spot. They also have lifeguards working. They don’t have any facilities on the beach so make sure you pack a picnic and some beers.

We went on the waterfall/jungle tour with Jango Tours and the Toboga was one of our stops on the day. The surfers at this spot are insane, blindfolding themselves with leaves while flipping and sliding down the rocks on their feet! It is an amazing natural formation that is loads of fun to slide down a few times into the natural, cool pool. Don't miss the chance to do this if you're in the area.

Beyond the fishes, we saw even turtles and ray in snorkelling. It was very peaceful, as we were there during the week, we avoided the crowd that probably is bigger during weekends

Very famous among students, Sono is an awesome place to enjoy the nature. There is a small village with bars, restaurants, lodges and campings.

Reviewed By FlosFamily - Paraty, Brazil
We loved Paraty - we took photos galore and enjoyed exploring the miriad of different shops, bars and restaurants. The harbour and riverside with all their colourful boats were fascinating. The protected cobbles makes this a no car zone however the uneven cobbles are quite tricky to walk on. The high tide does come up over some of the streets which means you have to make detours. We felt completely safe here.
8. Lula Beach

You need to go to Paraty, from there take Barco Nativo (look for it on trip advisor). This is a typical and traditional fishing vessel with all the basic amenities you may need. From Paraty port go to Lula Beach. Is totally worth it! Take a snorkel with you! the water is amazing!
