Praia Brava
A wild beach facing the open Atlantic, with big waves that suit surfers. Clifftop restaurants offer sunrise views, and a trail to the north end leads to Olho de Boi, a natural nudist beach.
Brava means 'wild' in Portuguese. The beach lies at the eastern tip of the peninsula, facing the open Atlantic, with big waves and strong currents. It is a place for surfers and is not suitable for beginner swimmers. Clifftop restaurants on both sides of the beach offer lovely views at sunrise. From the north end of the beach, a path along the cliffs takes about 15 minutes to reach Olho de Boi (Ox Eye), one of Brazil's earliest legal nudist beaches. Please respect the rules there and do not take photographs. It is about 3 km from the town centre.
