As a smaller, less crowded city compared to other tourist spots in Brazil, it provides a more authentic and laid-back "surfer town" experience.
The Nossa Senhora de Nazareth church, built in 1837, sits on a hill overlooking the ocean and is a major landmark for visitors, providing stunning views of the beaches and lagoon.
This is the main, iconic surf spot known for its powerful, consistent waves that are excellent for both surfing and watching.
