The most beautiful beaches of Brazil

The best and most beautiful beaches for some may not be for others. There are always doubts as to whether this or that beach is missing from the ranking, or whether some shouldn't be in the selection. The fact that a beach is visited on a sunny day at low tide or on a cloudy day at high tide can totally change a tourist's opinion.

But anyway, we'll leave you with our list of the main natural characteristics of the best beaches in Brazil, essentially considering the natural beauty and look of the beach, but aware that there are hundreds of other beautiful beaches that will be left out. The Brazilian coast is subdivided into the regions of Brazil that have coastal states: North Coast, Northeast Coast, Southeast Coast and South Coast. Only the Midwest region has no coastline.

The beach in the state of Ceará

Jericoacoara is among the most popular beaches in Brazil, among the best places in Ceará, one of the Brazilian destinations that has become a phenomenon among the beaches of the Northeast in recent years.

Beaches, dunes, rocks, the rise and fall of the tide and a beautiful view of the sunset are among the main attractions that draw tourists to the tranquil village. The place has a good choice of inns and a simple infrastructure. Jericoacoara is about 300 km from Fortaleza and recently gained an airport with constant flights.

Lagoinha Beach Ceará

Another Ceará beach in our selection of the best beaches in Brazil is Praia da Lagoinha, which is one of the great postcards of Ceará. The landscape is made up of a wide strip of fine, dark sand, freshwater lagoons, coconut trees, green sea and dunes.

The most beautiful and photographed view is in the right-hand corner of the beach. Here, the shades of its golden dunes, lined with coconut palms, blend with the green of the crescent-shaped sea. This beach is in one of the districts of the municipality of Paraipaba, in the west of Ceará, 115 km from Fortaleza, near Jericoacoara.

Coqueirinho Beach – Paraíba

Coqueirinho beach is the most beautiful in Paraíba and also deserves to be on the list of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. It has calm waters and lots of vegetation with shady coconut trees and cliffs all around.

Visitors can take advantage of the structure of the restaurants amidst a lot of privacy. Further south is the colorful Coqueirinho Canyon. The beach is 85 km south of João Pessoa.

Sancho Bay Beach - Pernambuco

We can say that Sancho beach is the most beautiful beach in Brazil and has already been voted the most beautiful beach in the world five times by thousands of Tripadvisor visitors. It is a bay of crystal-clear waters surrounded by rocks covered in vegetation, great for swimming and snorkeling.

Access to the best beach in Brazil is via stairs between the cracks in the cliffs. There are two staircases carved into the rock and a third made of stone. At the top of the cliffs, there are several viewpoints, the main one being the view of Baía dos Porcos and Morro Dois Irmãos, the best known view and the biggest postcard of Fernando de Noronha.

To access Sancho beach, you must have paid the Fernando de Noronha Marine Park fee, which can be paid in advance or at PIC Sancho, at the beach access point. In the ranking of the best beaches in the world, Sancho Bay was in second place in the 2018 ranking. However, in 2019, Noronha beach regained the title of best beach in the world, a place it had already won in 2014, 2015 and 2017.
