Aracagi Beach, Sao Luis

3.0

#3 of 18 in Parks in Sao Luis

Aracagi Beach is best reached by car beacuse you can drive onto the sand and unload your beach gear directly under an open tent. The beach itself is an expanse of white sand that reflects the sunlight onto the sea making a stunning view sparkle. Enjoy the shade under your open tent, or hit the water, but be mindful of the high tides that cover the beach.

On this beach you can let you access the sand with vehicles at low tide, in fact the point of greatest attention to take advantage of this beach is to evaluate the tides before you arrive or ask the attendants of the bars on the time of rising tide, to avoid mishaps and bottling s off the beach with the tide rising. The structure of bars and restaurants is quite simple. The recommended dish is the caranguejada. Suitable for families and children.

Dirty place, without structure, cars flout the law and travels in the sand, putting at risk the lives of the regulars. Noise pollution, too much garbage in the sand, attendants of the tents unprepared, high price for low quality of what is offered. Do not recommend!

Where to stay in Sao Luis

The more upmarket and characterful accommodations in Sao Luis can be found in the historical center, with atmospheric pousadas (guesthouses) and hotels in well-preserved colonial-era architecture. Head east of the Centro district to find budget hostels suitable for backpackers happy with simple lodgings, but who wish to be close to the main architectural sights. Larger, modern hotels lie along the island's northern coast, where a cluster of luxury and mid-range options offer rooms with sea views.
