Praia do Paraíso

Praia do Paraíso is a picturesque beach located at the start (or end) of the trail of the headlands. This beach is known for its stunning views from all sides, making it a visual treat for visitors. The beach is accessed by a series of stone steps, adding to its secluded and private charm. It tends to be less crowded than the beaches near the town center, providing a more private experience. The natural characteristics of Praia do Paraíso include small tide pools and a sandy shore that visitors find delightful. However, the beach is also quite rocky, so caution is advised for those intending to swim. Visitors are advised to wear flip flops while paddling in the water. One unique feature of this beach is its changing landscape due to the tide. The beach is open during the morning when the tide is low but gets washed out when the tide comes in. This makes it an interesting place to visit at different times of the day. Despite these changes, the beach is rarely crowded, offering ample space for visitors to spread out and enjoy their time.
