Picture a beach so crowded, it looks like a massive, sun-drenched colony of seals, each one jostling for their perfect patch of sand to flop on. The shoreline buzzes like a carnival on steroids, with an orchestra of life playing a symphony of chaos.
The smell hits you first: a mix of sizzling barbecue, sweet ice cream, and coconut-scented sunscreen. It’s like someone tried to recreate a food court inside a tropical spa, but with a dash of chaos. Every few seconds, a salesman bellows out his menu of miracles: “Coca-Cola! Água! Cerveja bem gelada!”—he’s the herald of hydration, though his voice could wake a coma patient.
Children zigzag like caffeinated squirrels, their screams and laughter blending with the occasional "thwack" of a volleyball smacking sand. The volleyball courts are alive with intense games of fuchi-volley, where players twist and flip like gymnasts trying to defy gravity.

If the sand were alive, it’d probably be screaming for mercy under the weight of it all. Welcome to the chaotic paradise where the sun shines brightest, and the people...

La arena es genial, pero es esa arena que se te entierra el pie, tiene muchos kilómetros para caminar. En general esta limpia, y bien mantenida. Se nota que la mayor parte del turismo es de Brasil. En mi experiencia no vi muchos argentinos. Y eso que estuve en...
Read moreAMO ESSE LUGAR! sou suspeita de dizer, pois moro aqui há 9 anos! Morro das Pedras é onde o sol nasce primeiro! Não há nada melhor que ir cedinho ver o sol nascer nesse lugar. única coisa que peca é que tem que ir pelo acostamento para caminhar, falta projetos para o sul da ilha para melhorar a segurança de ciclistas e pedestres. Infelizmente agora mês de MAIO tivemos uma grande ressaca, como podem ver nas fotos. Não estamos com faixa de areia. A praia é perfeita para surfistas e...
