Beach · Nature / Park
Relax with a dip at Quebra Canela Beach, a small urban beach with a nearby shopping mall and a number of hotels. The dark sand's gentle slope and the sheltered cove backed by cliffs provide good swimming conditions, while the long seawall draws fitness-happy locals. The proximity of the city makes this popular beach a prime venue for a number of cultural and water sports events year-round. If you get thirsty, head to one of the few bars on the beach. Work out when and for how long to visit Quebra Canela Beach and other Praia attractions using our handy Praia trip itinerary planning app.

    Best beach in Praia
  • By Lukas Klee
    Probably one of the best beaches in Praia. However I found it was too less space (the beach is quite small) for too many visitors.
