Detailed itinerary

1

Azeda Beach is among the most sought after by tourists. The beach is small, charming and with calm and colorful sea. It is next to Azedinha. They are divided only by a strip of stone, and in Azedinha there is no construction to hide the look of the forest.
Each stop lasts around 30 minutes, and you can go to the beach instead of staying inside the schooner.

2

Surrounded by lodges, hotels and luxury condominiums, the beach has perfect calm waters for kayaking, as well as snorkeling beaches. It is no accident that it is an obligatory stop for the schooner trips.

The beach is a favorite of foreign tourists, who find good infrastructure of bars and restaurants serving snacks and dishes based on lobsters and shrimps. The kiosks stand on a plateau, but they often spread tables and chairs in the sand.

If you prefer to get away from the usual buzz of noise, walk to the right corner, a little quieter.

3

The beach has calm waters, and generally the warmest of the region, since it does not receive the cold currents of Antarctica. Take the opportunity to swim and snorkel in the shores at the far right.

Along the extensive strip of sand, kiosks for all tastes spread tables, chairs and sun loungers.

The small cove has thick sands in reddish tones and very clear waters, perfect for the practice of snorkeling and fishing, especially in the stretches close to the rocky shores, with natural pools.
