This beach is my home when in Floripa and has been on all of my 7 visits - as a naturist it is an incredible beach - approx 1 km with very few vendors ( only in the last couple of years ) as it is a reserve. it is a bit of a hike to get there but the excercise is great and the beach is your reward

Boundless tranquility, the softest sand and warm waters. The local restaurants are charming and the people are helpful. A must see destination where I felt completely safe 24/7 traveling alone as a female.
