What to Do at Praia do Coqueiro

The beach experiences a higher flow of visitors during school holidays in July and December, long weekends, and national celebrations such as Carnival and New Year’s Eve. The streets become quite busy, and because they are quite narrow, traffic congestion often occurs due to the large number of parked vehicles.

Despite this, Praia do Coqueiro remains an excellent destination for those seeking peace and relaxation. The calm waves and clear waters allow visitors to enjoy swimming and sunbathing without worrying about strong waves. Throughout the day, the scenery gradually transforms, making it one of the most beautiful places to take unforgettable photos. Late afternoons are marked by a stunning sunset, and visitors often bring their drinks, snacks, or even a good book to enjoy the moment. On the sand, vehicles such as ATVs, motorcycles, and cars are not allowed, ensuring a more peaceful environment and protecting the area, which is also a sea turtle nesting site.
