Praia Grande, Beach in Paraty, Brazil.
Located north of Paraty, Praia Grande stretches along the coast with dark sand beaches bordered by dense Atlantic forest vegetation.
The beach forms part of an ancient maritime route used by Portuguese traders during the colonial period to transport goods between Rio and São Paulo.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods, setting out early each morning in small wooden boats to catch fresh fish for nearby restaurants.
Visitors can reach the beach via the Rio-Santos highway, with clear signage directing to a parking area near the village pier.
A five-minute walking trail at the northern end connects Praia Grande to Prainha, offering views of both beaches from elevated positions.
