Praia do Forte

Praia do Forte stretches along a wide sandy strip with numerous kiosks and palm trees creating a welcoming beachfront environment. The beach connects directly to a residential neighborhood and offers easy access from the shoreline.

The beach received its name from the nearby Itaipu Fortress, a military installation that influenced the development of the surrounding area. This military presence shaped long-term urban planning and growth in the region.

Local food vendors sell traditional Brazilian seafood dishes at beachfront stands where visitors gather throughout the day and evening. The place has a relaxed community feel that reflects the everyday beach culture of the area.

The beach has restrooms, showers, and bike paths with multiple access points from the adjacent residential area. The flat terrain and wide sandy zone make it easy to reach the shoreline from different spots.

The area sits directly beside a military district where vacation homes and military installations coexist along the coast. This unusual mix creates a distinctive character that differs from typical beach environments.
