The beach is top-notch, even on the busiest day of the week - Saturday. However, when Sunday rolls around, it's a whole different story. Chaos ensues with litter scattered about, obnoxious car stereos blaring, and other disturbances that make it difficult to enjoy the natural beauty of the shore.
This beach may appear stunning at first glance, but don't be fooled by its initial beauty. The sand is scorching hot, and the water is infested with jellyfish. The crowds are overwhelming, and the noise level is unbearable. It's a shame that such a picturesque location is ruined by the unpleasant experience it provides.
To reach this spot, one must take a boat from Marudá which takes approximately 20 minutes. Upon arrival in Algodoal, a cart is required to navigate the island as there are no cars. If one wishes to visit Praia da Princesa, two carts and a boat ride costing 2.00 reais per person are necessary. Carriages are also available for up to 3 people at a cost of 15.00. Overall, the location is ideal.
