Some stretches of sand are home to eclectic gatherings of people of all ages, enjoying beach football, volleyball, surfing and a unique exhilarating atmosphere. Artists capture the colour of the moment as a multitude of layers expressing everyday life mingling with an unusual unity of spirit and mind. Other wild beaches and sheltered coves are set amid rainforest offering the visitor a unique and alluring private, natural hideaway. The cobbled streets of Paraty are home to a collection of charming colonial boutique hotels and private houses while Florianopolis offers a more chic contemporary equivalent.
