Praia do Santinho
A big-wave surf beach on the northeast coast, with prehistoric rock carvings on the headland and a large resort behind it.
An open beach on the northeast coast with waves suited to surfing, framed by dunes and headlands. On the rocks at the south end of the beach are geometric rock carvings left by Indigenous peoples thousands of years ago, which can be viewed along a trail. At the north end is the well-known all-inclusive resort Costão do Santinho. The beach is relatively quiet, making it a good choice for visitors who want to escape the city crowds. It is about a 40-minute drive from the city center.
