Praia do Patacho
A pristine beach that often features on lists of Brazil's most beautiful beaches, with palm groves, white sand and reef pools at low tide, and almost no development.
Praia do Patacho lies in the municipality of Porto de Pedras, within the Coral Coast protected area. Behind its long white sand stretch continuous palm groves, with no high-rises, only a few low-key guesthouses. At low tide, transparent pools appear between the rocks, and you can walk out a long way. There are very few facilities, so bring your own water and food, or eat at a nearby guesthouse. It pairs well with Toque Beach and the manatee sanctuary.
