Praia dos Açores
Praia dos Açores sits on the remote Maraú Peninsula, a near-deserted stretch of tropical coastline with quality reef waves and minimal crowds. The journey requires effort - 4x4 vehicles are recommended - but the reward is uncrowded surf in warm, clear water. A small fishing community provides basic supplies.
