Buraco Azul
A deep blue pool dug out of sand and scrub. Its color like a blue hole has made it a new hotspot on the eastern route.
Buraco Azul, or Blue Hole, lies in the Caiçara area. It was originally a deep pit left by sand mining, which filled with water and turned a deep blue. Wooden decks, swings and a small bar surround it. There is a small entrance fee, and visitors can swim and take photos. In recent years it has been added to the eastern buggy tour, often visited along with Lagoa do Paraíso, Árvore da Preguiça and Preá Beach. The water is deep, so non-swimmers should wear a life vest.
