Taipu de Fora beach is one of the best-known villages and beaches on the Maraú Peninsula, listed by the English Wikipedia among the municipality’s most famous places, alongside Barra Grande, Saquaíra and Algodões. It is on the Atlantic coast, with a coconut grove reaching almost to the sand.
What to expect
- Reefs just offshore: at low tide they form the natural pools.
- Calmer water by the reefs and rougher water beyond them.
- Simple facilities: beach shacks and restaurants vary with the season.
Tip
Plan the day backwards: check the tide table first, enjoy the pools at low tide and leave the walk along the sand for later.
Practical tips
- Check the tide table before you go.
- Bring water and a hat: there is little shade outside the palm grove.
