also in peró, praia das conchas, set between the morro do vigia and the ponta do arpoador, is a precious 600 meter stretch of white sand and calm waters, creating relaxing natural pools beloved by the residents and families with kids.

the value of praia das conchas, or beach of the shells, goes well beyond being a touristic attraction - in fact, this beach is an ecological refuge, where a variety of new invertebrate marine species have been recently discovered.

the church of st. peter and the julia fonseca square are both close by so if the sea, sun and sand get too much then it is possible to cool off while soaking up some culture - there is also an illuminated boardwalk and kiosks playing live music, so it is the perfect place to enjoy a drink in the evening.
