The local experience
Built in the early 18th century on the lands of the Tremembé Indigenous people, it was buried by the dunes from 1897 and only came back into view in the 1940s. Protected by Iphan (the national heritage institute) in 1980, it is in the district of Almofala.
Discover Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Almofala
At high tide, a shallow lagoon forms here that is considered one of the world's good kitesurfing spots, for both beginners and experienced riders. It has sunsets over the sea.
Discover Ilha do Guajiru (Praia da Barra)
It is 12 kilometers from downtown, with dunes, coconut groves and an emerald-green sea with clean, calm water. It is in the same district as the historic Almofala church and about 4 kilometers from Praia de Torrões.
