Praia dos Carneiros is located in the municipality of Tamandaré in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. This beach is considered one of the most beautiful in Brazil. It is nestled in a coconut palm
forest on the delta of the Rio Formoso. The fine white sandy beach and crystal clear water invite you to relax for hours.
The meeting point of the Rio Formoso and the Atlantic is characterized by a large, spectacular barrier reef. Water sports and boat tours are available on the beach. Numerous bars and restaurants
offer light snacks and fresh seafood. If you are very hungry, I recommend the Moqueca. This stew made from fish or shrimp contains coconut milk, tomatoes, peppers and spices. It gets almost
everyone fit to experience the many offerings on the beach.
The powder-white beach with the coconut grove in the background and the calm, shallow water invites you to take a refreshing swim. Colorful tropical fish swim along the seabed, and the crystal-clear water makes it possible to observe them even without snorkeling equipment. At the barrier reef, natural seawater pools form at low tide, inviting you to swim and observe the marine life.
At the northern end of the beach, small catamarans await visitors. It is definitely worth admiring the stunning natural landscape from the water. Tours include
stops at the barrier reef, walking on sandbanks, a path through the mystical mangrove forests and relaxing with a clay bath.
The Chapel of São Benedito has become one of the most popular places for weddings and baptisms by the sea. Until the second half of the 20th century, the small building was used only as a place
of worship on a farm. The Rocha family, the current owners, held masses, processions and other religious ceremonies in honor of Saint Benedict there, attended by relatives and friends.
To raise money for renovations, they opened the church to the public. The beauty of the place at the mouth of the Rio Formoso attracted many tourists and brought with it inns and restaurants.
Today, couples come from all over Brazil to celebrate their dream wedding on the beach here.
No one has to go hungry at Praia dos Carneiros. First-class and well-known restaurants have set up their tables in the shade of the coconut palms right on the beach. A good bar or restaurant on
the beach also offers a shower so you can freshen up before eating.
The gastronomic offer presents the entire tradition of delicious northeastern Brazilian cuisine. Freshly caught fish and seafood are of course at the top of the menu. Here you can enjoy the best
cuisine of Pernambuco with the most exquisite specialties.
Nature provides the ambience and is complemented by amenities that make you feel like a princess or a king in paradise.
