This beach is a treacherous trek to reach, tucked away like a forbidden paradise. Your only options are to brave the steep and claustrophobic trail from Pântano do Sul, where you'll be huffing and puffing for 35 minutes straight, or take the longer, but still grueling, 2.5 hour hike from Praia da Armação. The latter may have some nice views, but don't forget to bring enough water and sunscreen to survive the journey.
But let's be real, the only reason anyone would even attempt this arduous journey is for the bragging rights of making it to the beach. And sure, the scenery may be nice, but is it worth the sweat and tears? Once you finally arrive, you'll be greeted with a beach that's just like any other. The only thing that sets it apart is the smug satisfaction of knowing that you made it there.
