Praia do Forte, Beach in Baía da Traição, Brazil.
The sandy stretch of Praia do Forte extends along the northern coast of Paraíba state, featuring natural rock formations and clear waters.
The beach received its name from the Portuguese colonial period when old cannons were positioned along the coast for territorial defense.
Indigenous communities from Aldeia Forte maintain their traditions through craft making and ceremonial dances near the beach area.
Visitors can access the beach from the central square of Baía da Traição, located 90 kilometers north of João Pessoa.
The beach faces significant coastal erosion, with the ocean advancing six meters inland over a single year, affecting the local landscape.
