Praia dos Padres, Coastal beach in Guarapari, Brazil.
Praia dos Padres is a beach in Guarapari with turquoise waters and light sand that stretches for several hundred meters. Rocky formations surround the shore and create a sheltered cove.
The beach is named after priests who reached this coast during Portuguese colonization beginning in the 16th century. The cove served for many years as a point of activity for local fishing and trade.
The name refers to priests who frequented this stretch of coast over the centuries. Today, fishers and residents use the beach for daily routines and traditional fishing practices.
The beach is most easily reached via a walking path from the nearby Praia Enseada Azul. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water, as the route crosses rocky terrain and there are no facilities along the way.
The water displays a distinctive green hue caused by mineral composition and water quality in this area. This coloration is a signature feature that sets this beach apart from others in the region.
