Praia do Forte, Beach in Baía da Traição, Brazil.
Praia do Forte is a beach along the northern coast of Paraíba state, featuring a sandy shoreline, natural rock formations, and light-colored waters. Large boulders rise from the ocean and line the shore, creating a distinctive landscape.
The beach received its name during the Portuguese colonial period when defense structures were built along the coast for territorial protection. This military presence shaped the development of the surrounding settlement across centuries.
Local artisans work along the shoreline, creating traditional crafts that reflect the heritage and knowledge passed down through generations living in this region.
The beach is walkable from the central square of Baía da Traição and is located near other local attractions in the area. Bring water and sun protection, as the sun is strong and shade is limited on the open shoreline.
The beach faces ongoing coastal erosion, with the ocean gradually reclaiming land and slowly changing the physical shape of the shoreline. This natural process is observable to visitors and demonstrates the ocean's long-term power.
