The scenery is perfect for hiking and offers good stretches for surfing and diving – the reefs form natural pools in the area known as Papa-Gente.

On weekends, the movement is great in front of the village. Be careful when swimming at high tide, when the water hides the rocks that are very close to the sand.

Imbassaí Beach

The great attraction of Imbassaí beach is a peninsula of sand formed between the sea and a small river that runs parallel.

There are rustic tents and, when it’s time to dive, you just have to choose between fresh or salt water.
