Hello guys.This is our marvelous Praia da Tartaruga.A wonderfull and small beach down there,you come from a dirt road and she is all colored of the sea,cool water blue with a few green.It´s delicious and cool water.Just be carefull about the reefs.It´s in the very small tide and depth,are a lot,if you risk your hurt and feet maybe you get traped with a lot of hurt and pain in your feets. Later Pedras got crowded and the kids started hanging in here also,later after the sunset.Is good option for hanging,far,abroad with different people and prices.It´s cool. You can take on day in here,full.It´s expensive ,of course,feed yourself at home and bring cold beverages. The dirt road is lovely,starts at about Mandragora hotel and stay,to the left at the center street,about two miles walking in this dirt road by my time. The you can catch a boat,a big boat with fares,ride for many beaches,arrive in different beaches which they always stay a few time for you to swim and meet the beach. These big boats and rides are very cool, loose your time.They pass and visit about ten beaches with a single fare. They don´t ride very far from the coast,are only tourists like us,more interested in knowing beaches and riding the boat mostly. There are the options of small boats and cabs lately.If you are hurried or just transportation you can pay the fare to small boats and cabs. Tartaruga has about two miles of coast,sand and sea.You can walk till the end and come back to the spot of restaurants and kiosques. It is safe to swim,is just like a gulf or bay,no tide or waves.The water is calm and huge spot to stay in the low tide and depth and if you want to risk it you can swim a lot and safe in Praia da...

I suggest going past the quiosques that are already set up to the open beach space to the far left from the entrance. Bring your own chairs and sun umbrellas and enjoy a much more pleasant experience away from the sellers. Also the food at the quiosques is generally prepared boxes that get heated slightly before served to you for 100 brl. Not worth the meal and seats in a crowded thin beach. I've seen people leave half the food uneaten in the quiosque box because it's not very good. You can also take a boat taxi to get here but be prepared to get wet...
Read moreIt's a very quite beach waveless. It's like a pool, but the water wasn't as clean as I expected. Maybe it is because the water is so calm that the water doesn't renew so much. Maybe it was the day we visited it. I don't know, but I didn't like it very much. The only thing I could highlight is that the water is very warm, but again, it is because it doesn't move so much. The bathrooms are chemical and are very very VERY messy and disgusting 🤢 that I would rather go to mother nature to do my things, really. Prices are a little less expensive than in...
