These beaches are wide, with open sea, with good waves for surfing, restaurants and hotels, ideal for walking with pets and; extremely quiet places, if you want to relax and enjoy the sound of the sea. Beyond surfing, visitors head to the sea for eco tours and adventures. Horseback riding on the beach and hiking are available. Hop into a kayak for a trip through the Capire Estuary, where pelicans and other birds feed in the fresh waters. Stroll the beach at night looking for sea turtles emerging from the water to lay their eggs in the sand, or join a boat trip and spot turtles in a local fisherman's panga.
