The Beaches

On the peninsula that seems more like an island, the beaches are the main stars. There are 23 little pieces of heaven, each with its unique charm and style. Geribá, the young crowd’s favorite, attracts surfers year round. While the calm waters of Tartaruga and João Fernandes beaches are more suitable for those travelling with little ones. The same goes for Ferradura, which features kayaks, banana boats …

The central waterfront, formed by the Canto, Armação and Praia dos Ossos beaches, has a scenery worthy of a fishermen’s village, peppered with colorful boats. Starting from there you can walk to the beautiful Azeda and Azedinha beaches, which are tiny and surrounded by lush vegetation. On the other side of town, great winds are a daily staple of Manguinhos and Rasa beaches, which are meeting points for windsurfers and kite surfers.
