Tips by GUSTAVO VIVACQUA |
|
1. The best way to get to know the beaches is walking during the low tide. 2. Windsurfing and sailing can be practiced along the whole coast, especially at the reefs "Coroa" (Crown) and Pataxos. 3. Making small trips on foot, by bicycle, by car or by boat may lead you to areas as intact as the ones that the Portuguese navigators found in 1.500. 4. Don't mis visiting "Barra do Cahy", because it is one of the best attractions. 5. "Ponta do Corumbau", that is a little more far away, is a place also very sought by the visitors. 6. Abrolhos is very near, and in case you have the time, don't miss this opportunity. 7. "The place is the great, I've been there last carnival and it is the best option for who wants to be away from the agitation of the big cities! It has beautiful beaches and for who likes to walk, it is a great trip. Barra do Cahy and Corumbau can be reached by boat... it is a great place to eat, you can order a super fish stew that serves at least three people for R$25,00... "tip from Juliana Tolentino 8. "I loved Cumuru. The town is so nice, the beaches are beautiful. It is worthwhile to know Barra do Caí, to spend the evening at Mambolada, that happens on the weekends and holiday, to get to know the local population, which give cool tips and to enjoy the sun all day long". tip from Renata Mendes Piñeiro RJ |
