Praia do Forte, Beach in Baía da Traição, Brazil.

Praia do Forte is a beach in Baía da Traição, Paraíba, where a sandy shoreline meets a cliff face. At the top of the escarpment stand two cannons from the 17th-century Portuguese fort, beside an indigenous village of the Potiguara reserve. The summit gives a panoramic view over the bay.

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.

The Potiguara villages of the Baía da Traição reserve keep crafts and dance as marks of identity. In Aldeia Forte, the Toré Forte association received the Prêmio Cultura Indígena in 2007 for encouraging the practice of the culture; there visitors can see the toré dance and buy handicrafts.

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.
