All year round. Weekends are busy. The week is calmer. Good option in any season as it has a complete structure.
Praia Grande Beach
From the pier there are tours to islands at more affordable prices than from the center. Combine with Prainha next door — a short 5-minute trail leads to a smaller, quieter beach.

Praia Grande Beach
Araújo Island, visible in front of the beach, is home to capuchin monkeys and herons. The name of the beach reflects its main characteristic: it is the largest strip of sand easily accessible by car in Paraty.
