Itacaré Sights

  1. Beaches

    The coast south of Itacaré is characterized by rough surf (better for surfing than swimming) and cove beaches separated by hills covered with rain forest. Some beaches, such as idyllic Prainha (reachable by trail from Praia do Ribeira), are private and charge entrance fees. Praia da Concha is an ordinary city beach. Resende, Tiririca and Ribeira beaches lie within 1.5km south of town and are frequented by surfers.
