It stands buried well below the high cliffs and you'll need to descend a few hundred stairs to get there, but it's well worth the trouble. Circled by the golden cliffs and the natural park and protected area filled with coconut palm trees and the local flora. The beach is located below the Village Natureza Hotel (where the main access stairs are) and stands in a calm bay with gentle waves making it ideal for swimming. The south section, near the rocks, is also ideal for some surfing.

There is a bar/restaurant right on the bottom of the stairs and it's quite probable you'll find a lot of people selling fresh fruit and drinks at an amazing low price.

If you are lucky you might also see the magnificent natural show the dolphins often give in the mornings. Turtle sightings are also quite frequent.
