it is possible to get off right at this beach, and catch the bus back, or continue onwards to the end of the line.

for those who enjoy taking the long way, they can wait and walk down the sand from praia dos ranchos, the beach on the left side of the final bus stop.

the beach is just past a small stream that is surprisingly traversed easily by the bus.

it is one of the more popular beaches among surfers for its waves and stunning scenery - a strategically located large beachside bar offers drinks, snacks, and full meals to quench the thirst and appetites of customers as well.
