About Praia de Ponta Grossa
Praia de Ponta Grossa features one of the cliff landscapes of Icapuí's coast. The slopes of varied colors, the rocks by the sand and the shape of the cove help identify this sector of the shoreline. The community has a history linked to coastal occupation and preserves archaeological records, but a visit to the beach does not imply free access to collections or a museum. The visit should be planned via local entry points, observing the formations from permitted sections. The tide alters the area available near the rocks, and passages along the base of the cliffs require guidance. Do not climb the slopes or remove sediments or items found on the ground. Boat tours and vehicle activities are organized separately and must be arranged with the person in charge. Bring water and sun protection and choose the length of the walk after checking conditions on arrival.
