Pindobal Beach
Praia do Pindobal
A river beach south of Alter do Chão in Belterra municipality, with clear, calm water and many thatched beach bars. Good for a half day of swimming.
Pindobal Beach lies about 8 km south of Alter do Chão and administratively belongs to the municipality of Belterra. It is another popular freshwater beach on the Tapajós. The sand is wide and gently sloping, the river water is clear, and there are many thatched-roof bars along the shore. Local families crowd in on weekends, while weekdays are quieter. It is often visited together with Belterra's old town or the Tapajós National Forest. You need a car or hired transport, and some stretches are dirt roads. In the high-water season the sand narrows noticeably.
