Morro de São Paulo Essentials

Morro de São Paulo is a car-free village on Tinharé Island defined by its 17th-century defensive fortifications and a sequence of beaches numbered one through four. This selection covers the historic 1855 lighthouse, the natural pools of Quarta Praia, and the 340-meter zipline descent from the lighthouse hill. The list also includes the village’s central social hubs, such as Praça Aureliano Lima and the sunset viewpoints overlooking the Atlantic.

Beautiful Beaches

Morro de São Paulo’s beaches are numbered sequentially starting from the village center. Primeira Praia serves as the landing point for the lighthouse zip line and a hub for surfing. Segunda Praia is the island's primary social area with beachfront dining, while Terceira Praia acts as the main departure point for boat excursions. Further south, the expansive Quarta Praia is characterized by its shallow natural pools formed by coral reefs. Nearby, the Paredão da Argila features cliffs of pink clay used for traditional skin treatments.
