Praia do Forte

Fringed with coconut groves and lapped by turquoise waters, the golden sands of Praia do Forte await, with 12kms of near-deserted beaches to explore. The small fishing village is now awash with elegant boutiques and restaurants, while further afield are the Garcia D'Avila castle, one of the oldest Portuguese buildings in Brazil, and the hiking trails of the Sapiranga forest reserve.
