#20 IN THE WORLD

WHERE BREATHTAKING VIEWS MEET PRISTINE SHORES

Pontal do Atalaia, located in Arraial do Cabo, Brazil, is often referred to as the "Brazilian Caribbean." While the area is home to many stunning beaches, Pontal do Atalaia stands out for its tranquility, largely due to its more challenging accessibility. The beach can only be reached by a scenic boat ride or a steep, difficult walk, which helps keep it less crowded, even on busy days. Pontal do Atalaia offers all the essential features of an ideal beach, such as powdery white sand and clear, calm waters. However, it is particularly renowned for its spectacular views. From the top of the surrounding cliffs, visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramas of the coastline and nearby islands, making it a truly unique destination.
