With more than 4500 miles of coastline, any beach lover would be crazy to not want to take a Brazilian vacation. And to make matters even more exciting it’s like spring break all year round with parties and the sunsets and the white sand and what the country is most known for today-the Brazilians themselves! Ready to go? Here are my top 5 of the many, many beaches to choose from in exotic Brazil.
1. Copacabana- This would probably make any Top 10 beaches in the world list. Because of its popularity, accommodation rates are very competitive. It can get much crowed even if it coast is 4 kilometer long. Famous for its parties, this is also home to futevolei (foot volleyball)
2. Ipanema- A very fashionable beach, this is mini-bikini central. Even with skin overload. Ipanema is actually one of the more family-oriented beaches in the country. That’s just a hint on how the other party beaches compare in terms of being wet and wild.
3. Jericoacoara- This word means “hole of turtles,” so you can expect to see many turtles on the shore. But the main attraction here is the sunset, which is best viewed on the Sunset Dune. This is where you can witness one of the most impressive sunsets as the setting sun clashes with the dune.
4. Pipa- Here you can get lucky with the dolphins. It’s a cove where the waves can both be strong and calm. You can do all sorts of things here from surfing to canoeing. And with the lush greens inland and spectacular cliffs, nature-tripping is the most logical thing to do.
5. Fernando de Noromha- A group of volcanic islands protected by the government, this is the definition of exclusivity as the number of visitors is limited at any given time. There are no hotels here, only villas for rent. And that, my friends, comes with brow-raising price tag.
