What works with kids
- The Taipu de Fora natural pools at low tide: shallow water and fish in plain sight. Wear water shoes and always stay close.
- The bay beaches in Barra Grande, where the water is usually calmer.
- A short boat trip on the bay, with a life jacket in the child’s size.
Precautions
- Check that the boat has children’s life jackets.
- On the open-sea beaches, watch the sea and stay together.
- Health facilities are limited: bring any regular medication and see the health guide.
- Dirt roads are tiring: choose a base close to what you plan to do.
