The coconut trees and lush greenery make it a picturesque site, perfect for a day at the beach. There are also ecological trails to explore, as well as pools where you can cool off or swim.
Very nice beach, great amount of places to eat, book some trip, buy bikini etc.
Bear in mind that it’s very touristic

I love this place! Dive and get in direct contact with nature. Seeing the fish close by, feeling in an aquarium is fantastic!
A sea of wonderful green color, and a beautiful historic place ... with well-decorated streets🌵❤
I really liked the place. And the natural beauty that it offers. Corals, fish, attractions and well-kept places.

I felt sorry of the ocean, full of chairs, umbrella, tables on the beach and food stalls, so commercial. and many rubbish, cigarettes 🚬, plastic stuff, and the water has floating oil and ting rubbish that's really disgusting. I understand why the beach provide shower for tourists because the water is polluted.
I think this beach is over rated.

At low tide you can access the coral pools from the beach for snorkeling. Choice of being in a quieter or busier part of the beach. Laid back brazilian crowd so no need to dress up in town or obmn the beach.

This place was recommended to me to visit while in the nordeste and I am truly happy that I went here. Plenty of hiking areas. Plenty of beaches and they reminded me of Pacific Islands due to the palm trees. I lived on açai here, delicious and loved the place walking around solo. No queues for restaurants when I went there. I would go back here. I met the football team sport Recife when they were promoted to the top league. Recife airport was loco.

I never felt unsafe here. Hot weather, nice bars, quite modern.

I hiked from Petropolis to Teresopolis and it was one of the most technically difficult hikes I've done. There is this one part called the "little horse" where the only way to continue is to take your backpack off, grab the rock, swing your leg over the rock, and use your momentum to hoist your body on and over this large rock. Did I mention that this all takes place on cliff where if you fall you die? Yep!
It was worth it and so incredibly beautiful but the trail is no joke! Doable if you do it in 2-3 days (carrying your camping gear) but a lot of altitude! I have hiked 36km/day in the snow, and found this hike to be a challenge physically and mentally.

Celebrated for it beauty, this white sandy beach has calm, clear water ideal for swimming & diving
No need to talk about how beautiful this place is. My advice is: avoid going there on weekends and holidays (your experience will be considerably better if the beach isn't overcrowded), and don't go there by your own means. Get a private tour, preferably by boat (there are loads of them departing from praia dos anjos). It can be quite complicated to reach the beach through land, as you'd either have to walk for a long time, or you'd have to get there extremely early (before 7am on weekends) if you're planning on parking your car on the road above the beach. If you really want to avoid boats, get a car taxi there and back by the entrance to the road to the beach.
Gabriel Mello — Google review
The place is beautiful, and the sea is cold, it is worth the visit.
But, take care. It is extremely expensive. R$15 a taxi to go up R$15 to go back, they block the street, Uber is not allowed.
If you are going to eat at the beach, ask before, everything is insanely expensive. You are not going to pay less than R$150 for something to eat.
Go early, around midday it gets crowded.

Beautiful and preserved place. Lots of nature, clear (and cold) water, and white sand.
The hills surrounding this beach are covered in dense forest making this a peaceful getaway.
You can walk or take the boat taxi to that beach. Boat taxi is 12 reals but it is only a 20 min walk to this beach. People bring food and lots of drinks and hence the benefits of the boat taxi. I went by boat and walked to the mirador then to little beach using the trails. It is worth it.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. You have to take a short 10 minute hike to get to the beach, but even the hike is super beautiful. The view from the top of the hill is definitely a must see. At the beach, there are lots of vendors offering chairs and umbrellas. Some are for free, as long as you order food or drinks from the location, others are paid, but they offer you credit towards their food menu. The waters are crystal clear and great for swimming.

GORGEOUS BEACH ! One of the moat beautiful beaches we've EVER seen! The hike to the beach is about 15minutes by foot, a little challenging but the view from the top of both beaches and then the infectious joy and excitement you get from being in paradise makes it worthwhile.
Lots of food and drink vendors on beach and in our case umbrella and chairs were free of charge if you buy a meal.
If you're a snorkeler, dont forget it! There's tons of fishes in the water near the rocks, we even saw 7 turtles within two days.

Very nice beach, but can get very busy in high season. The boats bringing the people of nearby Cabo Frio to the beach can become a nuisance as they blare their music and it disturbs the peace and quiet. The water is crystal clear, and a sight to behold. There are some walking trails, but you are advised to go in a large group as it might not be save alone
Geriba Beach is a widely popular destination for beach and water sports enthusiasts, boasting a long and spacious sandy stretch. This spot is particularly favored by the younger crowd and offers ample opportunities for surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding, and foot-volley. There are also plenty of facilities such as umbrellas, bars, restaurants, pizzerias to cater to the visitors' needs.
Very nice beach.
Parking might be an issue, but there's some coffee shops for food and drinks. The sand is clean and golden, the sea water is a bit wavy, but very small waves, makes it very fun and appealing, the water was warm. The view is amazing. To return

If you are going to visit Buzios, this is the beach I recommend staying at, particularly if you rent a house (which is what we did). The surf can be a bit rough for very small kids, but some of the best waves for surfing/boogie boarding I have seen anywhere in the Atlantic Ocean. The beach itself is reasonably wide and not overly crowded. There are bars at one end for food.
John Lee — Google review
If you come to Búzios, this is one of the beaches you might want to visit. It is long, windy and has fine hot sand, where hurrying your feet feels nice. There is a serving shack, somewhat expensive but buying a couple beers will grant you access to the beach chairs and umbrellas.
Dr. Naz — Google review
wide beach plenty of space that allows to play ball, racket, etc.. without bothering anyone... it has different areas with stronger waves with some light surf combined with other areas more quiet where kids can play safely...
the free space also allows to avoid the umbrella rent, something very difficult in other beach here at buzios. prices are lower too and since it bigger it has a very good variety for food and snacks...
the nad part of the story... in theory Brazil laws prohibit to be charged for umbrella but this is something not being checked, therefore people at the beach charges what they want, even for undefined services or for using the umbrella and not consuming a minimum amount
Tomas Javier Garcia — Google review
Really nice place. Good for people that enjoy playing in the waves, but in the safety of the shallow ocean at the same time. Also you can easily swim further than the waves breaking and enjoy a calmer area. It can be quite windy. Large sand strand, really good to practice sports. Beautiful sunset can be watched there. And it is kinda cute how the beach is "hidden" with the little alley entrances. The only problem I experienced was people burying (very badly, IF they do it) the poop of their dogs. Definately not a place to let your kid dig up the sand and build castles with it...

Geriba Beach is one of those places that leave you in awe before the blessed, magnificent natural beauty. If you want to savor a state of amazement, go there.
R. das Pedras, also known as Cobblestone Street, is a beloved destination in Buzios that exudes a charming village atmosphere. Lined with tourist shops, restaurants, bars, and cafes, this popular cobblestone street has evolved from its colorful old cottages to become home to boho boutiques and cozy cafes. Visitors can enjoy waterfront dining at the cluster of restaurants that offer perennially popular spots for sundowner cocktails.

Located 15 km away from the central region, Itacarezinho Beach is the farthest of the Four Beaches Trail and renowned as one of the best beaches in Itacare. Its typical northeastern beach view features a shoreline surrounded by palm trees, long stretches of sand and an irresistible sea for swimming. Visitors can enjoy a more secluded atmosphere or engage in activities such as surfing, diving and hiking.
This spot is as close to heaven as you can get here on earth. Be sure to stop at the Mirante on the way down for a beautiful photo. If you have the money, you can rent a gorgeous cabana, but be prepared to open up your wallet. It’s about $300R per person. $250R comes back in food and drinks. The second option is $300R total for chairs, an umbrella, pizza and a few beers. My best recommendation is solid footwear for the walk (10 mins downhill and 15 mins uphill), carry your Havianas, and bring water, snacks, and towels. You can also hike to another nearby beach on a trail should you choose. Last great perk, you can rinse off in a fresh water waterfall coming from the nearby river. Totally worth the trek.

One of the best beaches in Itacaré. You can either leave your car at the entrance and walk down to the beach or park inside the property at a cost. Itacarezinho isn't usually crowded.

The Quarta Praia beach in Morro de Sao Paulo is a more secluded, quieter option than the main beaches in town, and is worth walking to after a dip in the water. It's also more vazia than the other beaches in Morro, with many people renting bikes to pedal along the long stretch of sand.
Really liked it. Away from the crowds of the other beaches that are closer to the town centre you'll find a nice beach with very little amount of people (takes a while to get there as you can only get there by foot I think). Because of that, unfortunately this isn't an option for people with reduced mobility. There are a couple of bars that (I think) serve some food (although we didn't eat). Not a place to watch the sunset, best during the morning/day time (till 16:30-17:00)

The Elevador Lacerda in Salvador, Brazil is a historic art deco elevator that offers stunning panoramic views. It connects the upper and lower parts of the city, providing a convenient transportation option for visitors. This iconic landmark has been restored to its original beauty and attracts tourists from around the world. The elevator consists of four separate elevators and can transport passengers 72 meters in less than 30 seconds.
Beautiful elevator with stunning views of the city. At just 15 cents, it is a very affordable way to get to the old city. The observation deck at the top gives you some of the best views in Salavador. It's also closely located to Mercado Modelo, which is convenient. With that said, make sure you don't have any flashy jewlery on you when you go up so you can stay safe.

It's very cheap at only R$0.15, and conveniently located. It facilitates a 10 minute walk from the ferry to Pelourinho or from Pelourinho to the market. There may be a bit of a line depending on the time of day that you visit. Can also get a bit hot during the day. There are stunning views from the top, a very popular photo op spot, as well as a famous ice cream shop help you beat the heat. Can't miss it on a visit to Salvador and I definitely recommend taking it at least once.

A very traditional landmark of the city, this elevator is known as the first public elevator on the entire Amreica. It connects the up and down part of the town (where the Modelo Market is located). The fee to use is very unexpensive - only BRL 0.15 cents. It's also a good place to enjoy the breathtaking view of the All Saints Bay. Unfortunately, the surroundings are not as safe as expected, but note that this is very common for historical cities in Brazil. I do recommend you to be accompanied by a local to avoid unsafe areas and to avoid the local vendors who can be very insisting. As always, enjoy it during the daytime. The elevator doesn't offer a panoramic view (it was not built with this intention), but it has a glass corridor that can be the place for nice pictures.

Praça Tomé de Souza, S/N - Centro, Salvador - BA, 40020-000, Brazil
Pelourinho is a historic district in Salvador that features picturesque cobblestone streets, Afro-Bahian souvenir shops, and lively squares filled with musicians and dancers. This area contains colonial landmarks such as Igreja e Convento de São Francisco and Catedral Basílica de Salvador featuring intricate gold-plated carvings and Portuguese tiles. The Pelourinho is also home to the Casa do Carnaval which showcases multimedia exhibits of street parties with costumed mannequins.
The Basilica of the Lord of Bonfim is a large, gothic-style church located on a hill in the city of Salvador. The church is known for its Hall of Miracles and its body part replicas, which are popular tourist souvenirs. The church's fame derives from its power to effect miraculous cures, making it a popular shrine.
I really enjoyed busing this place. We did the 3 ties for 3 wishes. It was fun to explore this area a few vendors out front. Would say this Is a good place to visit, parking can be tough to find.
Alyssa Helkowski — Google review
One of the best attraction of the city.
You'll feel a deep spiritual energy and You'll meet a beautiful cultural side of Salvador de Bahia.
Quaint old church, with a beautiful view, much nicer interior than one would guess from the exterior (although exterior is done in rather charming gothic architecture), and a cute story of wishes granted for each of the knots tied with a ribbon at its fence. Make sure not to tie more than three knots, though, and of course - you can't say the wishes out loud. :) When will they come true? When the last of the knots gets undone and the ribbon falls off the fence...
Vanja Cingel — Google review
Though it is not that close of the mainstream of Salvador's sightseeing, the basilic is indeed a must to see place. It has such a huge and potent energy that will make the extra effort worth it. It's not the most luxurious church one can visit, but the relevance of its history to the locals (and the history of religious development in the entire state) is more than necessary if you really want to leave with the mystical taste that Salvador leaves in all of us. There is no fee payment, and as a plus, you can visit the beaches located on the outskirts. Don't forget to attach your Senhor do Bonfim ribbon on the gates of the church - legends say you must choose the color you like the most and tie it in with three knots, one for each wish of yours. The color you pick will represent the orixá that protects you.

Beautiful church carrying a lot of history. There was service when we arrived and it was crowded but we found seats and could enjoy the amazing interior of the church whilst praying. Be aware about parking and souvenir prices, street vendors try to make money on unadvised tourists.

The church is beautiful and full with the visitors but should be careful about the guy at the parking lot along the street they are asking for 20 reais for every car.

Very old igreja and beautifully designed the architecture is very historical. I recommend if you want to do photography visit on weekdays cause on weekends and especially on Sunday you will found fully crowded. ( I couldn’t get the chance for photography) nice to visit here and see the beautifully historic details inside the igreja (church)

A must see during your visit to Salvador. A beautiful cathedral that captures the heart and soul of one of the oldest cities established in the new world.
It’s local custom to tie ribbons at the gate in front of the church and say a prayer to the Holy Savior of the Bay of all Saints.
Inside the cathedral and deep rooted in the Afro-Brazillian Candomblé traditions and the Catholic Ex-Voto, the afflicted offer wax casts in body parts to Saints as thanks or hope of healing them.

To get from the center was very frustrating and took me 2.5 hrs to get there.
Do not rely on google maps or moovit in terms of the bus number (many buses have no number) or the bus stop to get on (as many drivers did not stop for me as it was not the right one) or even the route. Ask many people and look for a bus sign that states it is a stop. Many buses don't display numbers, and if they do, the number switches quickly that you may not have the time to see it from far to hail it down!
(Translated by Google) The best bikinis I've ever worn and since I've known them, I only buy them when I go to Salvador. Impeccable in finishing and modeling. Wonderful service and everything is really good!!!

The TAMAR Marine Turtle Praia do Forte Project is a crucial initiative dedicated to the conservation of endangered sea turtles. At the TAMAR Education Center, visitors can gain insights into various turtle species and the threats they face from activities like pelagic long line fishing and poaching. The project also focuses on preserving humpback whales, with whale watching being a popular activity during their reproduction season from July to October.
A must see place. I love the location (right on the beach). We were able to start early in the morning take a break for lunch in side the Tamar project there is small food area. There is so much to learn in this on place. You are able to see the actual size of each turtle and compare to your own height. So many pools of turtles. One thing we didnt know is that you are contact them in advance and spend the day as a biologist. a good place for kids of all ages. I really enjoy this place.
Alyssa Helkowski — Google review
It's a very interesting, but small exhibit. It's fun to see, but keep in mind that you will maybe spend there 1-2 hours MAX. If you don't have a tour! We went 2 hours before closing and it was the perfect time to go.

Great conservation project, beautiful displays and signage with a lot of educational content. Great for children and adults alike. The only disappointing thing was to see the amount of rubbish floating around the nearby beach, contradicting so much of the message which the project stands for.
Tanja Samira Jorgic Rudd — Google review
Worth visiting, this project shows great samples of turtles and a few other species, in a splendid space almost on the beach of Praia do Forte. Some explanations in English about turtles and the overall project would be very useful for foreign visitors!
Dominique Lecheval — Google review
It is definitely a place worth visiting. You can admire turtles of different sizes, from tiny hatchlings to enormous old turtles. While they offer guided tours, unfortunately, these tours are not available in English, and not all exhibit descriptions have English translations. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the visit.

Fun outdoor activity to do with kids (free under 5)! Employees are kind, always available to explain or help. Fun way to learn about turtles. There are also sharks and rays to see. The gift shop is nice too :) For people with babies, please note that there are 2 bathrooms on the site, but only one that is baby friendly. It's the one located at the entrance of the park where you pay your ticket. Enjoy :)

I hate giving such low points when reviewing a place that is working to try to help the oceans and efforts of conservancy!!! However, this is a cause that is very close to my heart. Having volunteered 6 years at the G aquarium!!! I went in and out of this place and learned very little. The people that were there were not giving any particular instructions or help. Besides having a t shirt saying, if you need help, I can help but it was all in portuguese anyway.... I know we are in Brazil, and that is the official language. However, if you are trying to educate an effort of conservacy, you should have somebody who speaks other languages so everybody that goes can learn something.
I also found it extremely sad that giant turtles swam in such a reduced space🤔🤕. I understand that there are animals that can not be returned to their natural habitat for diverse reasons, but if they are to remain in human care, they need to be cared for. So for this, I cannot recommend.

I like what they're doing and what they stand for. I guess they need to have to have a front of house so show everyone their good actions. It felt a little like an aquarium to me. I hope those sharks, manta rays and turtles are in there just temporarily.
Conor O'Connell — Google review
The Tamar Project does such fantastic work in protecting the marine turtles, that you absolutely have to love and support this place. The place itself is not very big, and you can walk through the whole area in 30 minutes or so. But you do get to learn a lot, and seeing the turtles is an amazing experience. It's also located in a beautiful area by some of the most beautiful beaches. After going here, you definitely have to go to the beaches and enjoy the natural wonders. If you're lucky, you can even see the turtles in the wild.
Pedram Esm — Google review
Love the place. The landscape and the turtles are amazing. You can clearly see that they love them and care about them. If you want to eat somenthing inside there, you have an open restaurant facing the ocean with a breathtaking view. You will not regret the experience.

The iconic Arcos da Orla de Atalaia monument located in the beachfront of Praia da Luz, near Lisbon, Portugal, comprises a row of arches in front of the sand. The monument is popular for selfies and as a place to relax and take in the natural beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. Restaurants are nearby that serve different types of food.
Great place, excellent beaches!
Great for those who enjoy having a nice time alone!
Good for bathing alone too! It’s very secure to leave things on the sand for ~10 minutes or so

A really great place. Full of species of fishes, even sharks. The main attraction are the marine turtles, various species and their cubs (which you can see been freed onto the sea depending on the season).
The place supports a conservancy projected to protect the turtles.
Daniel Junior — Google review
Great staff, well organized and well mantained environment.
The entry ticket justifies its R$ 24 price tag, letting you go to any places in the stabelecement (excluding the Yellow Submarine atraction) with freedom
All animals are healthy and are well cared and loved by everyone working there.
Things on the exit shop are pricy but are justificable by how much this project has been doing and how much they need to pay for taking care of the animals, maintain the building in good state and pay the employees as well.
Overall, couldn't stay more happy to visit and help the project as well.
Victor Augusto Rodrigues Romero — Google review
It's so little! I would recommend if you want to see a group of sharks and some little turtles. Overall I am kind of disappointed because compared to the TAMAR project of Praia do Forte this one has only is 1/3 of the size and attractions. I would recommend watch the animal feeding. You can also ask for a stamp in your arm in case you want to go out and return later on.

This picturesque beach on a peninsula features swimming, boating, coconut trees & eateries.
Si vas a la playa de Gunga recomiendo 100% realizar el recorrido con el buggy, que normalmente cuesta 75 reales, dura 1 hora pero vale la pena porque te traslada a lugares únicos de la zona donde los paisajes son increíbles. También existe la opción de ir en cuasi y lo podes manejar vos mismo con ayuda de un guía.

The beach is beautiful, not really quite because there are a lot of “banana boat” and others tour with loud music and a lot of vendons, in addition there is a lot of garbage in the sand, people do not care about it which is pretty sad! But the place is nice, and you can do the tour with the buggy or the quad but you MUST have cash, they don’t accept credit card!

Praia de Pajuçara is a bustling beach with tranquil waters and opportunities to take boat trips to famous pools just off the coast. The beach features soft white sand and calm, light blue waters with gentle waves, making it perfect for families looking to relax. Visitors can rent beach chairs for a reasonable price and enjoy a variety of snacks, drinks, and meals available for purchase.
Awesome beach, really worth visiting. Between November and March, if it's not crowded you just walk along the shore and you will be offered seats ("cadeiras") under a sunshade or sunbrella for R$30. It might get really crowded on Sundays.

Plain awful. The water is disgusting and it is unclear as to whether the water is muddy or if it is sewage. We walked the entire length of the beach and didn’t find it suitable to get in at any point. The sand itself is fine. I cannot understand how this beach gets such high ratings. Avoid this beach if planning on getting in the water.

Nice white sand beach with light blue water with calm, gentle waves and the temperature is just right. There are plenty of beach chairs to rent for about R$ 15/day and they offer all kinds of snacks and drinks as well as good size meals. I can warmly recommend this beach for your family to relax.

Disheartening how absolutely disgusting this beach is. Unless you are into loud sound bars from every other group, into piles of trash mixed with algae, and into muddy ocean floor, this place is not for you. The 2 stars go to how this beach looks from far away: pretty ocean reefs and blue sea water. Unfortunately up close, it is a disappointment. Avoid!
Daniel Taranto — Google review
Nice place for shopping and eating, the beach is beautiful but bathing is more complicated due to the dumping of the open air sewer into the ocean... Go to Marechal Deodoro instead.
Praia de Paripueira is a stunning stretch of coastline with its golden sands, tranquil waters, and abundant tide pools filled with marine life. This beach, along with Praia do Sonho Verde, forms the municipality and offers excellent tourist facilities. While many visitors opt for day trips to the area, it's also possible to enjoy a delightful weekend getaway here.

This tour agency offers natural pools and coral reefs for swimming and snorkeling that are surrounded by white sand beaches. These waters are incredibly clear, giving them a very bright blue colour. There is plenty of variety in the fish and corals here, with some surprising colours and shapes. The catamaran trip here is definitely worth taking, as the pools are stunning on their own, but they're even more amazing when viewed from a boat high in the water.

(Translated by Google) I have to make some considerations about the beach and natural pools. To have a good experience, you have to buy the raft ride (R$50.00/person). I went on a day with a tide of 0.5, and cloudy weather, there were showers of rain. From the beach you can't see the beauty shown in the photographs, the water is a little murky. Because of the rain, water that contained sewage ran through the sand, it was in a tent on the left side of those arriving via the Porto de Galinhas sign. As the tide goes down, umbrellas will be set up in front of you, making the experience of staying on the sand chaotic. So pay attention to the ideal weather, tide and time of year conditions to avoid disappointment.
(Original)
Tenho que fazer algumas considerações sobre a praia e as piscinas naturais. Para se ter uma boa experiência, tem que comprar o passeio de jangada(R$50,00/pessoa). Fui em dia de maré em 0.5, e tempo nublado, teve pancadas de chuva. Da praia não se vê a beleza estampada nas fotografias, água meio turva. Por causa da chuva, escoou uma água que continha esgoto pela areia, estava em uma barraca do lado esquerdo de quem chega pelo letreiro de Porto de Galinhas. A medida que a maré vai baixando vão sendo montados guarda-sóis a sua frente tornando a experiência de ficar na areia um caos. Então fique atentos as condições de clima, maré e época do ano ideais para não se decepcionar.

When I arrived it was raining but it was still possible to enjoy it. Sea of calm, warm and clear waters, in several points it is possible to observe the fish.
Here's a tip for family trips to save money in Porto. The city hall provides guides every morning who take you to visit some natural pools for free, it's worth waking up a little earlier to take advantage of the opportunity.
When dealing with commerce, I recommend preparing as things are very salty, but you can save money by looking carefully.
(Original)
Lugar belíssimo!
Quando cheguei estava chovendo mais ainda assim foi possível curtir. Mar de águas calmas, quentes e claras, em vários pontos é possível observar os peixinhos.
Deixo aqui uma dica de passeio para família economizar em porto. A prefeitura disponibiliza guias todas as manhãs que te levam para conhecer algumas piscinas naturais gratuitamente, vale a pena acordar um pouquinho mais cedo para aproveitar a oportunidade.
Tratando do comércio recomendo ir preparando pois as coisas são bem salgadas, mais da para economizar procurando com calma.

(Translated by Google) The pools are really beautiful.
Paying 50 reais per person, they take you on some "Jangadas" (raft) to the pools and let you snorkel for 1 hour.
Important when going is:
-See tide table since it is important that the tide is low to take advantage of the reefs and see fish
-Go early so there are not many people
(Original)
Las piscinas son realmente hermosas.
Pagando 50 reales por persona te llevan en unas "Jangadas" (balsa) hasta las piscinas y te dejan hacer snorkel durante 1 hora.
Importante a la hora de ir es:
-Ver tabla de mareas ya que es importante que la marea esté baja para aprovechar bien los arrecifes y ver peces
-Ir bien temprano para que no haya mucha gente

Vale muito a pena pagar para fazer o passeio com um jangadeiro, de preferência com quem faça as fotos, pois vão ser belíssimas recordações. Espero voltar em breve porque esse lugar realmente é maravilhoso.

(Translated by Google) Today we went on a raft ride on this tour we passed by the coral barrier where we walked through a marked area observing the inhabitants such as fish, sea orisons and the pools then we went on the raft to a sandy place at the bottom with water up to our waist to see fish and feed it and enjoy the wonderful water of Porto de Galinhas. I recommend the raft trip.

Hoje fomos fazer um passeio de jangada neste passeio passamos pela barreira de coral onde caminhamos por local demarcado observando os habitantes como peixes, orisos do mar e as piscinas depois saímos de jangada até um lugar de areia no fundo com água até a cintura pra ver peixinhos e alimentá-lo e aproveitar a ótima água maravilhosa de Porto de galinhas. Recomendo o passeio de jangada.

(Translated by Google) The pools must be seen when the tide is low. Otherwise you see fish and they take you on boats, full of boats and vendors offering. In January, a lot of people, but that's not the worst, but the noise of the vendors, music in all the inns. A shame. . The remote beaches have waves but are calmer.

Las piscinas hay que ver cuando marea es baja. Sino igual se ven peces y te llevan en embarcaciones, lleno de botes y de vendedores ofreciendo. En enero, mucha gente, pero eso no es lo peor , sino el ruido de los vendedores, música en todos los paradores. Una lástima. . Las playas alejadas tienen olas pero son más tranquilas.

(Translated by Google) Scam Alert!
Unfortunately there are many "guides" approaching all the time and offering tours to the natural pools, they charge the same amount as the association R$50.00 (but the association has nothing to do with these guides) and an additional R$40.00 per person to take hundreds of photos, but when they arrived at the pools the photographer, who in my case was an Argentinian, took about 6 photos and wanted to charge another forty reais for the mid-water photo 😡 in other words, the tour would cost R$130.00 per person. My tip is just buy the tour directly from the association cabin, in the middle of the pools there are photographers or even rafters with Go Pro and other types of cameras who take those beautiful photos that we see on the internet, I don't know how much they charge but I certainly don't. This is nonsense!
Note: the tourism authorities, the association or I don't know who, should monitor this situation better, it is very uncomfortable and annoying to have to avoid these fraudulent approaches all the time.

Alerta de Golpe!
Infelizmente tem muitos "guias" abordando o tempo todo e oferecendo o passeio as piscinas naturais, eles cobram o mesmo valor que a associação R$50,00 (mas a associação não tem nada haver com esses guias) e mais R$40,00 por pessoa para tirar trocentas fotos, porém quando chegam nas piscinas o fotógrafo que no meu caso foi um argentino, tirou umas 6 fotos e queria cobrar mais quarenta reais pela foto meia-agua 😡 ou seja o passeio ia ficar por R$130,00 por pessoa. Minha dica é só compre o passeio direto na cabine da associação, no meio das piscinas tem fotógrafos ou até mesmo jangadeiros com go pro e outros tipos de câmera que fazem essas fotos bonitas que vemos na internet, não sei quanto eles cobram mas com certeza não é esse absurdo!
Obs: as autoridades de turismo, a associação ou não sei quem, deveria fiscalizar melhor essa situação, é muito incômodo e chato ter que se desviar o tempo todo dessas abordagens fraudulentas.

Porto de Galinhas beach is one of the most popular in Pernambuco, with crystal clear waters and soft golden sand. The coconut trees and lush greenery make it a picturesque site, perfect for a day at the beach. There are also ecological trails to explore, as well as pools where you can cool off or swim.
Very nice beach, great amount of places to eat, book some trip, buy bikini etc.
Bear in mind that it’s very touristic

I love this place! Dive and get in direct contact with nature. Seeing the fish close by, feeling in an aquarium is fantastic!
A sea of wonderful green color, and a beautiful historic place ... with well-decorated streets🌵❤
I really liked the place. And the natural beauty that it offers. Corals, fish, attractions and well-kept places.

I felt sorry of the ocean, full of chairs, umbrella, tables on the beach and food stalls, so commercial. and many rubbish, cigarettes 🚬, plastic stuff, and the water has floating oil and ting rubbish that's really disgusting. I understand why the beach provide shower for tourists because the water is polluted.
I think this beach is over rated.

Nice beach in Porto De Galinhas because many kids and adults will like this beach and this beach has got scuba/snorkel activity per person in this beach and it is the perfect beach for all the family.

At low tide you can access the coral pools from the beach for snorkeling. Choice of being in a quieter or busier part of the beach. Laid back brazilian crowd so no need to dress up in town or obmn the beach.

This place was recommended to me to visit while in the nordeste and I am truly happy that I went here. Plenty of hiking areas. Plenty of beaches and they reminded me of Pacific Islands due to the palm trees. I lived on açai here, delicious and loved the place walking around solo. No queues for restaurants when I went there. I would go back here. I met the football team sport Recife when they were promoted to the top league. Recife airport was loco.

I never felt unsafe here. Hot weather, nice bars, quite modern.
Easy to reach from Recife.
I also never felt alone because at every millimeter of the beach there is a "businessman" available selling almost everything you need.
The area is also a Digital Nomad hot spot.

One of the best places I have visited. Beautiful place with warm waters. Financially very affordable. The locals are kind and respectful. No one steals from you there.
Definitely do the boogie ride, and venture 45 mins south to Praia dos Carneiros for a fun catamaran boat ride.
