"Melhor praia da região de Cumuxuratiba para tomar banho tanto na maré alta quanto na baixa. As outras praias tem muitas algas na areia, só que aqui e bem mais limpo. Falta um espaço para estacionar, mas é uma excelente praia para família, sossego. Parece uma piscina de tão razinho, e a água é morna, top top demais. Areia branca fininha e ainda desemboca um riacho logo ali, no acesso à praia."
