rua das pedras is also the place to go looking to shop, as a variety of stores, including luxury brands, have a presence - the orla bardot (bardot beachfront) is where the majority of the fun kicks off and the street stretches just over 400 meters, and it is literally crammed tight with watering holes and fine eateries.

this is where the fiestas happen and definitely the place to be if visitors are looking for delicious food and an energetic night on the tiles - a cool sea breeze wafts over revelers as they bounce from bar to bar to the sound of brazilian music.
