dividing prainha de piratininga from piratininga beach, is the rock called 'pedra da baleia' (stone of the whale), a formation resembling a whale and a very popular diving and snorkeling spot.

further, the ilha do veado (island of the deer)is right across from prainha, adding a dimension to the already interesting landscape. 

fairly calm oceanic waters, plenty of infrastructures, many kiosks, and lots of space to play and run ensure that families here will enjoy themselves.
