Where the Lagoa de Ibiraquera meets the sea: about three kilometres of ocean beach, with no cars on the sand. The lagoon on one side, the Atlantic on the other. A sand bottom and consistent waves, good for people who already surf. Fishermen sell the day's catch right there on the beach.
“The Ibira sandbar is fantastic, especially when it's open, allowing for a swim in the clean, transparent lagoon.”
