Algodões is one of the best-known villages on the Maraú Peninsula, according to the English Wikipedia, and the beach is among the highlights listed for the Camamu Bay protected area. Seen from above, it is a long stretch of sand with coconut groves and the open sea.

What to expect

  • A long, largely undeveloped beach.
  • Open sea, with waves on many days.
  • Scattered guesthouses, for those who want peace and quiet away from the village of Barra Grande.

Who it suits

Those who want a long beach and silence. To be close to restaurants and the boats, Barra Grande is more practical. Compare in where to stay.

Practical tips

  • Watch the sea before going in.
  • Bring shade and water: the beach is long and has few facilities.
