Great beach for surf. After a 15 minutes of a light trail, you will find this very beautiful beach and a small river where you can swin. There is only one tent to sell water and coconut water, so remember to bring your food if you decide to spend the day, and don´t forget to pick up your trash. ;)

In late afternoon (about 15:00 to 16:00) the light on a clear day is absolutely stunning. The shape of the beach, the river flowing into it are particularly beautiful. It maybe my favourite beach of the 14 I visited in Itacare.

I would recommend taking a tour with an agency that has vans to their customers. You can also take the bus leaving from the city bus station (Rodoviaria). Make sure you keep the bus schedule and be patient. Bus punctuality in Brazil is not the best. Expect a 15 - 30 min. delay.Engenhoca is wonderful. After you take off from the bus ride, there´s a 30 min. hike to arrive at the beach and there´s a small river that meets the ocean. It´s great to enter it after swimming in the ocean, so you get rid of the salt.There´s a small bar selling some snacks, beer, water and soft drinks. The price is higher than in Itacare, but it´s still ok.

It has a small bar where they serve coconut water. A down mountain Riozinho that hot water is clear despite the reddish color due to the iron minerals. Has high rocks in the end where you can take beautiful pictures but do not take bath in these locations. Bathe only on the beach. In all the beaches we visited the city together the owners should provide selective collection and educate users to take the waste. On this beach there are ancient buildings of a hotel that unsightly landscape on the trail that leads to the site. A partnership with the Navy and tourism agencies would be very welcome for the Environment.

This beach was basically designed for surfing. Given the amount of waves it receives and the force at which they approach, not necessarily great for swimming. However, as a beginner surfer it provided the perfect classroom for a full day of learning to ride the waves due to the protected nature at least on one side.Not much infrastructure which is great. However, it does meant that you have to provide for yourself (water, food).

Another amazing dream beach. Just avoid it at high tide, specially full moon high tide, as then the beach dispppears

There are a lot of groups that start the day going to Praia da Engenhoca before heading down to other beaches. So if you manage to get there after lunch it is very likely you'll have the beach to yourself. Not much structure there though, so better to take water and some food with you.

For me for sure the best beach to surf. Im still learning to surf and I got my first waves on this beach. Its also a really beautiful scenery. Love how the rainforest meets the beach. You have to walk about 30 min before you arrive on the beach but it's all worth it! There is a small cabine that sells coconuts and tapioca!

The most beautiful around Itacaré. You can eat very cheap tapioca, only 15 minutes by walk in the forest. There is very few people there, you feel like it's your private beach. Good waves for surf beginners. Nice beach for kids with a river. 15 minutes from Itacaré by car. Our favorite beach there

This beach is beautiful and secluded, it was our favourite close to Itacare. The beach is safe and has great long waves that seem to roll on forever, it reminded us of waves in Waikiki, Hawaii. The walk is easy to get there and takes about 20 mins from the drop off point, we felt like we were on the set of lost walking through the jungle surrounded by an old condo project that wasn't finished. Amazing to arrive at this beautiful mostly deserted beach, though you could buy drinks and tapioca there like most beaches in the area.

O mais bacana dessa praia é a trilha que você vai desbravando, natureza bem conservada, mar limpo, muito bacana. Voltaria em outras oportunidades com certeza

A praia é bem bonita e grande, o mais legal é se refrescar no rio que chega ao mar (água doce e mais fria). Leve guarda-sol.

Mais uma praia linda de Itacaré! Também precisa fazer uma trilha! Mas não é muito longa e bem tranquila! Da para ir de onibus até a entrada da trilha e depois fazer mais uns 30min com barulho de água por todo o caminho! gostosissima essa trilha!

um pouco difícil o acesso na mata mas nada impossível, dá pra ir tranquilo pelas trilhas e vale muito a pena o esforço
