The majority of the beaches of the region of
Paraty boarder directly on the Mata Atlântica forest. In spite of
the dazzling beauty, it is hard to avoid the mosquitoes
Use a bug repellent and wear shoes and socks on
the trails to avoid being bit. Remember that all mosquitoes love
feet!

The Indians of Paraty said that merely swimming in the bay would cure
all ills. No kidding! The warm, calm waters of the bay make taking a dip
a pleasant experience 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Kids of all ages

surfing to calm natural pools for the children....

São
Gonçalo Just 30 km from town, São Gonçalo
offers a large beach of fine white sand, beach bars for liquid
refreshment and snacks and (sometimes) attractions like kayaks
and banana boat rides
Sono
e Antigos Most certainly one of the most
beautiful beaches of Paraty! A two hour hike through the forest
brings you to a placid fishing village perfect for a day
of rest!
Jabaquara The medicinal mud is the big
attraction of this beach which is where the "Bloco da
Lama" (mud block) carnival group meets. It is the closest
beach to town where you can take a dip.
