About Prainha
Prainha is a cove located at the entrance of Arraial do Cabo. The scenery and the presence of quiosques make it an option for planning a beach day without combining many excursions in the same period.
Pick a stretch of sand and enjoy the visit at your own pace. If you are with children, supervise their time in the water and assess the conditions. The decision to enter the sea should be made on site, paying attention to the signage.
Allow time to rest and take a break to eat. On a short trip, dedicating the morning to Prainha can be more pleasant than rushing between several beaches. Bring sun protection and keep your belongings close to the group.
Before arriving, confirm the drop-off point and return transport according to your accommodation's location. Do not confuse this visit with Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia, which have a different access. When leaving, collect your waste and allow time for the next transfer.
