tuck away and impossible to find except for
those who are looking for it, is the
praia da ponta grossa
(beach of the tip), a small stretch of white sand measuring less
than 100 meters, depending on the tide.
facingsepetiba bay,
the water here is not suitable for swimming, there are no
kiosks, no sport facilities, and no lifeguards on duty - yet
this is one of the most precious beaches of the entire
west zone.
quietly set at the end of
rua maestro deozilio in
pedra de guaratiba, and undiscovered by all except some
local fishermen who dock their boats here, this small praia is a
treasure for any nature lover and ornithologist.
