🐚 Nearby walking beach: Praia Preta
Praia Preta is the one we're taking you to on the free hike but you can also do it by yourselves! It has a distinctive dark-colored sand. Surrounded by lush Atlantic rainforest and crystal-clear waters, the beach offers a peaceful and scenic escape. It is close to Vila do Abraão, making it easily accessible. The calm waters are ideal for swimming, and the nearby trails lead to historical ruins and natural pools. No need of guide or booking.
