The staircase that leads to Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia looks like a portal to paradise. From the top of the hill, you can see a truly paradisiacal scene. It's difficult not to be mesmerised by the stunning view: white sands, sea in varying tones and the untouched green of Ilha do Farol in the background. The descent is steep, with many steps, but a photo stop along the way is always welcome. It is essential not to confuse Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia with Prainha near the entrance to the city, nor with Praia do Pontal which extends along the same strip of sand as Praia do Forte, in Cabo Frio. Prainhas are located on Morro do Pontal do Atalaia and get their name due to the formation of two beaches that join together into a single strip of sand when the tide is low. The colour of the water varies depending on the time of day, current, sunlight and other factors, transitioning between shades of green and blue.

Located in Arraial do Cabo, Praia do Forno could not be less than stunning. Its waters mix a tone between blue and green, displaying an exuberance that transports its visitors to another world.

The name "Praia do Forno" is an allusion to the heat emanating from all sides - from the sky, the sand and the rocks. However, don't worry! The refreshing waters guarantee relief and provide a well-deserved rest to enjoy the height of the beauty of Rio's coastline.
