For those who do not like crowded beaches, full of stalls, restaurants and street vendors, it is possible to find peace in different corners of Brazil. In these places it is possible to find almost deserted or little frequented beaches, that are ideal places if you like to camp, explore, visit idyllic places, just relax or even visit cannabis-friendly spots on the Brazilian coast.
Access to them is more complicated, which is exactly one reason that explains the lack of fuss. But in most cases, the beauty of the landscape is worth any effort. Check out our list:
Caraíva – Bahia
Peace, privacy and beauty. 70 km far from Porto Seguro International Airport, south of Bahia, Caraíva is an area of environmental preservation, has streets covered with sand, with no motor traffic, beautiful beaches, traditional houses, campsites, cozy inns and good restaurants that attract people who integrate with nature and look for preserving the environment while keeping local charms intact. Excellent option to rest, get in touch with nature and, of course, enjoy the beautiful beaches and a river bath at dusk.
Cedro Beach – Ubatuba / SP
Ubatuba is full of beaches well visited by tourists, but Praia do Cedro, the most beautiful, is a bit more reserved and, often, deserted. It is necessary to make a small trail to reach the place or go by sea. The beach has white sand and crystal clear waters, perfect for diving. At certain times of the year it is possible to see migrations of turtles, dolphins and even whales. A separate show.
Ilha do Mel – Paraná
Ilha do Mel is the prettiest destination on the coast of Paraná, with preserved beaches on the streets, just sandy trails, an ideal place to relax, away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The Grotto of the Encantadas is located in the south of the island and is the most important natural heritage of Ilha do Mel, nestled among black rocks, with about 10 meters in length. As it is an ecotourism destination, the attractions are its beaches, trails and some historic buildings. An ideal place to relax and stay Zen.
Matadeiro – Santa Catarina
Praia do Matadeiro is an area of environmental protection with calm sands, but the beach has strong waves, and is more frequented by people who love adventures, like climbing and long trails. Protected by difficult access, the 850 meters of Matadeiro Beach are surrounded by the hill of the same name. With few summer houses, only during summer season some bars and restaurants do open.
Cumuruxatiba – Bahia
Located on Costa das Baleias, in the extreme south of Bahia, Cumuru, as it was affectionately nicknamed, is surrounded by miles of unspoilt beaches, devoid of visual or noise pollution, cut by rivers of clear water and very quiet. It is a simple place with beautiful shallow, calm and warm watered beaches. Those have huge cliffs, coconut trees and Atlantic forest in abundance, which provides a great contrast of colors in its unforgettable scenery.
Havaizinho – Itacaré / Bahia
The rich Bahian coast also has empty beaches. This is the case of Havaizinho beach, in Itacaré. The name already says where beauty has an influence. Access is by trail, but it is smooth. Only 10 minutes and it is already possible to come across the charms that the beach offers.
Cacimba do Padre – Fernando de Noronha / Pernambuco
Although it is a favorite spot for surfers, Cacimba do Padre Beach is almost deserted during periods of strong waves—great for surfers (from December to March). The waters are transparent green and teeming with marine life, the sand is light and soft, and the native vegetation from the hills extends onto the beach. In the summer, the waves can reach up to five meters. It’s a good place to watch the sunset.
Praia do Chapadão – Rio Grande do Norte
A vast and beautiful area, it is considered one of the retreats of Tibau do Sul, in northeastern Brazil. Its stunning view is a charm for visitors who can admire the area from the top of the cliffs. To reach the beach, you need to descend via makeshift stairs. In the summer, it attracts visitors who find it a great option for a relaxing day at the beach, either lounging or taking a refreshing dip in the sea.
Itaúnas – Espírito Santo
In the 1980s, Itaúnas, a beach hidden by mounds of fine, golden sand, was discovered by backpackers and remains preserved to this day. Thanks to the creation of a state park in 1991, the nature has changed little and continues to feature mangroves, streams, giant dunes, and patches of Atlantic Forest. The dunes are the main attraction, stretching 2 km, up to 300 meters wide, with peaks reaching 35 meters in height and an untouched archaeological treasure below.
Praia do Patacho – Alagoas
Located 100 km from the capital, Maceió, almost deserted and perfect for a peaceful day, Patacho Beach becomes particularly enchanting at low tide: the sea recedes, and you need to walk hundreds of meters to reach natural pools. It has a privileged location with easy access (though not well signposted), but is little explored. You are unlikely to be bothered by other bathers or street vendors.
