Lonely Planet review for Beaches
The waters of Morro's four conveniently named main beaches are mostly calm, shallow and warm, and their sands are narrow and swallowed by the high tides.
Tiny Primeira Praia is lined with pousadas and has a decent surf break. Deep Segunda Praia (500m) is the 'action' beach with pousadas, restaurants, nightclubs and a sea of tables and chairs. Pousadas and anchored boats dominate one end of Terceira Praia (1km). Once you pass a pair of restaurants, Quarta Praia (2km) is a long, lovely stretch of sand graced by tall, swaying palms. For even more isolated peace, continue on at low tide to Praia do Encanto (5km) or further down the island to Garapuá, which has one pousada.

It fill your soul !!!
alasdetango recommends this,
If you are looking for a different place, a different beach in Morro de São Paulo..a quite, beautiful and cozy place (hard to find in a typical crowded January!), where to enjoy incredible sunsets ..please do not loose "One Love" a new Casa do reggae! ...close downtown!! Simply take the walking way to Gamboa, and you will find this lovely place very close! at the first beach "Praia do Porto de Cima". This is not a simple bar and restaurant..this is a true different place where they make you feel at home! sharing with friends whatever you want! great live music (if you want you can play too)!...excellent caipirinhas!..good food, talks, hammocks, all close to Bob Marley!...have a look: http://onelovebrasil.blogspot.com/ !!!...and go there to enjoy from your first day there!!...not like me..who discovered it last day... Please! enjoy...enjoy...enjoy it...it is one of those special places..with special people... certainly hard to find in Morro now!
