Renamed as “Little Hawaii,” this beach is an exceptional gem. We arrived in the late afternoon and parked along the BR001, but it is important to be cautious while parking and crossing due to a treacherous curve. As we crossed, a speeding bus made us feel uneasy. The descent to the beach was a delightful and picturesque hike. To reach Havaízinho, take the path to the right at the fork. On the beach, there are a few ‘restaurants’ with unstable tables that provide some shade. The service was laid-back, and no one pressured us to patronize their establishment. We enjoyed a scrumptious moqueca dish for seven people, and the price was incredibly affordable by North American standards. The waves crashed heavily in the ocean, but the cove's protection allowed children to wade out quite a distance and still be safe. We plan to return before our trip ends.
Denne strand er utrolig fredelig, og du vil støde på mange afsondrede pletter. Derudover er sandet en smuk gylden farve.
For at nå Praia de Palva, også kendt som Segredo, skal man tage en sti, der starter fra Jeribucaçu og passerer gennem Praia dos Corais. I Arruda kan man enten følge klipperne på kanten eller tage til højre mod lagunen på toppen af bjerget. Stien er fredelig og rolig. Stranden er velholdt og helt sikkert værd at besøge.
The beach is absolutely splendid and definitely worth the stroll. The colorful pastels offered are quite generous and can easily satiate your hunger for lunch. There are numerous natural pools to explore and a plethora of activities to indulge in. I highly recommend this beach and rate it a 9 out of 10.
