With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Praia Seca, 45 miles away, has to offer. Itauna Beach, Menino Joao Helio Park and Vargas Beach alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals will also likely point you toward Praia Baía Formosa, 20 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Geriba Beach. (But we’re also huge fans of Joao Fernandes Beach and Ferradura Beach.)
