The beach is about 68 km north from Pacatuba, with access via BR 235 and BR 101 highways, then a 19 km drive along SE 335.

The surf here is a regional classic, with waves breaking less than 50 meters in length. The spot provides both left and right waves. Surfing conditions are best during the winter months, especially when a south swell meets northwest offshore winds.

When crowded, respect the locals and always check the surf etiquette. The area is part of a biological reserve, so expect a natural and preserved environment.
