Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia

Also known as "Prainhas", it is divided in two, separated by rocks (at high tide, turns one). To reach the calm, transparent and perfect waters for bathing, you have to face a wooden staircase of 255 steps, that leaves the hill of Atalaia.

Duration 45 minutes
3

Praia do Farol

A great star of Arraial do Cabo, Praia do Farol is one of the most beautiful in the whole of the Lakes Region and, without exaggeration, all over Brazil. It has gained fame especially for being classified by INPE (National Institute of Space Research) as one of the most perfect beaches of the country, following criteria of water purity, sand quality and landscape. Fame has spread and today Praia do Farol is one of the must-see tours in Arraial do Cabo.

Gruta do Amor

The Blue Grotto is part of the boat trip that leads to Praia do Farol. The rock formation is just one of many natural beauties on the route that passes through the Island of Cabo Frio. The whole course in the open sea is beautiful, with impressive water tones. The Blue Grotto is just one of the beautiful moments, which still count with the waves that break fiercely against the rocks.

Crevice of Our Lady of Assumption

A crack between rocks, with the image of a saint in the middle. Legends of fishermen who found her at sea and put her as protector of the city there, or legends of couples kissing in front of the image to perpetuate the love, are some stories that probably the guide will tell on the tour.

Duration 45 minutes
Admission Admission Not Included

Forno Beach

The hidden trail at the end of Praia dos Anjos leads to one of the most incredible paradises of Arraial do Cabo. The effort of the ascent will be quickly rewarded by sight seeing that allows a paradisiacal view of the city. Praia do Forno is one of the main cards of Arraial do Cabo and is not for less. The colorful water in the cove and the strip of white sand surrounded by the lush vegetation form a scenery worthy of many photos.
