Of the seven beaches that make up the Morro de São Paulo scene, four are busy and three are deserted.
The busy ones are named in numerical order from First to Fourth with countless stalls and inns around and close to the shops.
The deserts are more extensive and difficult to access, with low infrastructure and provide paradisiacal views.

Quinta Praia
Also called Praia do Encanto, it is one of the least frequented by tourists as it is six kilometers away. At high tide access becomes even more complicated.

Garapuá
This small fishing village has natural pools of warm waters surrounded by reefs and fish. Diving enthusiasts stop to have fun amidst the waters and marine species. To get there, it takes two hours on foot or one by boat.
Gamboa
Away from the hustle and bustle, this beach is in a fishing village. It is perfect for sailing sports as it is in front of a bay, which allows for favorable breezes. It can be reached after a 40-minute walk or fifteen minutes by boat.
