about 500 meters in length, praia do forno, is a gem of clear and green waters and ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving - this is also where a floating seafood restaurant welcomes visitors who make it there either via the trail from praia do ajos (angels' beach),

about 20 minutes away by car from the center of arraial do cabo, the pontal do atalaia reserves for any visitor one of the most beautiful natural scenery of the region - at the end of a short trail, fine white sand meets turquoise crystalline waters creating a paradise almost always empty of visitors, especially during low season.

praia do farol (beach of the lighthouse), is located on a small island accessible only via boat across from the pontal do atalaia - at this beach the sand is so white and fine, and the water so transparent and light blue to seem almost unreal.
