Paraty-Mirim
Paraty's earliest settlement, with an 18th-century chapel by the sea and calm beaches, and the departure point for boats to the Mamanguá inlet.
Located about 17 km southeast of Paraty, this was the earliest colonial settlement in the region. A chapel of Our Lady of the Conception, dating from the 18th century, stands by the sea, its white walls striking against the greenery and the bay. Old colonial ruins are nearby. The beach is shallow with small waves, good for family swimming, and a few simple restaurants line the shore. It is also the main departure point for boats to the Mamanguá Inlet. Buses run infrequently, or you can drive; the last stretch is a dirt road.
