a beach exclusively accessible by boat, this gem is located at about one hour from the center of paraty and is home to absolutely gorgeous water of green and light blue tones - more easily accessible, praia do meio in trindade, also known as praia dos codós, is a small bay of clean transparent water that should not be missed.

as public transportation in the area is not always easy to use by people who are not familiar with the language or paraty, the best way to discover the local beaches and trails is always via guided tours easily available by a number of travel agencies in the center of town - most day tours will include to and from transportation, a lunch, and free time to explore on one's own. 

the fishing village of trindade is set among a number of beautiful beaches, and has several pousadas for those who wish to stay in that area rather than in the historical center of paraty.
