Engenhoca is accessed via a 20-minute trail through the Atlantic rainforest, and the journey is half the experience. The beach produces mellow, powerful peaks perfect for all levels, in a setting of pristine tropical beauty. The isolation keeps crowds minimal and the vibe pure. Pack water and supplies for the walk.
