Praia da Fazenda

Praia da Fazenda stretches along a sandy coastline framed by thick Atlantic Forest vegetation and protected from overdevelopment. The water here varies in depth, creating different zones for swimming and exploration along the shore.

Indigenous groups first settled this coastal area and developed fishing traditions that became rooted in the region. Their presence shaped how people still use this land today.

Local fishermen still practice traditional methods learned from their families, using small boats and hand-cast nets along the shore. This way of working is woven into the daily life visitors observe here.

Reaching the beach involves a walk of about 20 minutes through marked trails in the Núcleo Picinguaba conservation area. Bring comfortable shoes and be prepared for limited facilities along the way.

Sea turtles regularly come ashore here to lay eggs during nesting season, making this a key breeding ground for the species. Native birds also find shelter in the forest nearby, turning the area into an important wildlife refuge.
