Praia da Cacimba do Padre
The island's longest beach, a Brazilian surfing hotspot with powerful winter swells, with a view of Morro Dois Irmãos and a walkable route to Baía dos Porcos.
The longest beach on the inner side of the island, with fine, soft sand, and its southern end faces Morro Dois Irmãos. From December to March, North Atlantic swells roll in and form powerful barrels, making it one of Brazil's best-known surf spots, which also hosts competitions. The sea is calm the rest of the year and ideal for swimming. From the south end, you can walk over the rocks to Baía dos Porcos. There is no entrance fee and a few vendors, and take care when the waves are large.
