Short hike to the top of Pedra do Pontal, where you have a very unique view of two beaches: Recreio and Macumba.

Even though the hike to the top is short, it is not an easy one. You will have to climb through exposed sections and the path is not very well marked. I recommend asking a local to accompany you or at least show you the way.

The view from the top is breathtaking, though!
