Beyond its natural beauty, Barreirinhas itself is a charming town with an easy-going atmosphere.

If you’re after a bit of adventure, you’ll find chances for kayaking, kitesurfing and sandboarding. And if it’s relaxation you’re after, there are plenty of hammocks to drift off in and beaches where you can soak up the sun. All in all, Barreirinhas is a must-visit for anyone travelling to Brazil. Whether you’re a nature lover or simply looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, this town has something for everyone.
