the water at praia do foguete is cold and deep - which can come as a shock - however, the sandy stretch is rarely crowded and a fine place to practice sailing, windsurfing and kite sailing.

stunning white sand dunes line the road to arraial do cabo - the largest of these sand structures, named duna madre (mother dune), is a perfect spot to gaze at the sunset during the summer. 

the sunset is undoubtedly the best time to admire the canal do itajurú - it is an unbelievably romantic setting and perfect for couples to spend some quality time together.
